So life has been on the up lately. Things have been moving pretty quickly. I got entrusted with the responsibility of taking care of major parts of two of the biggest files in our office. Now I know I am not the most talented person at our office of 200 people. But I know is I am more driven than anyone else at that office.
One of the partners who I feel is one of the smartest people at our office was doing that part all by himself from the last 20 years. He said that he is getting older and feels he needs to transition the part to someone else who can take care of it over the next few years and he told me I am the one who he capable enough.
It was a great morale booster for me.
As I mentioned earlier and have before innumerable times, people don't give a shit if you are talented or not, the thing that matters the most is your attitude. My supervisor in our bi-weekly check-ins mentions it almost every time. She says my attitude is impeccable and it is easy to work with me.
So I think that if our attitude is genuinely positive will not only care for us but will help us to become better and advance in life.
The way to get to that point in the first place is that we need to do what we love. So if we enjoy what we do we will never feel the need to not give our 100%.
They say home is where the heart is, what if part of our is at work so when we go to work we feel like we are at home. The place I work is a company with about 5000 people and is the 5th largest accounting firm in Canada but it doesn't feel like it. It feels like home, without even trying to hard I love my job, the reason is simple I am doing what I love. people would have told you this is in the past but if you have to spend 25% of your life at a place, I would hope that you enjoy it.
