You get up in the morning, put on your shirt, pants, socks and shoes, and maybe some other accessory like a hat. Put some coffee on, you grab some food and then off you go to work. Work can be a rite of passage when you are young, and getting your first job, but as you get older, having a job is more of a necessity and sometimes more challenging. The daunting task of entering the doors and clocking in. Maybe you get there a little early so you wait outside for the few minutes you have left before your shift begins or you are like me and you just clock in early. There are differences between each job that you will have but there is one thing that you will carry with you to each job, your philosophy of work. For most people their philosophy of work includes working well and working to improve their quality of life. This includes being ready to work once you arrive at your place of work, working to the best of your ability, wanting to improve your work …show more content…
Once you come home you can forget about the pressures of the day and just breathe and relax. Instead of looking ahead at everything you must get done, he taught me to just take it one day at a time and do what you can to the best of your ability. He taught me there may be days when it is hard to endure what is going on around you but there will also be days when you are reminded why you choose that job. Only you can change your attitude. An important aspect of my own work philosophy is to be constantly working. If I see something that needs to be done and I can do it, I will. Another aspect of my philosophy of work is that I am ready when I get to work and that I am there at least 10 minutes before my shift begins. In any task that I am assigned at work, giving my full effort to the best of my ability is crucial for me to be satisfied with my job. These are principles that my Dad taught me and they have become an important part of my work
Previous generations have a strong belief of keeping work and home life separate; that work is for work and home is for play (Rampell, 2011, para 21). Today’s professionals do not seem to abide by similar beliefs, constantly crossing the borders of one into the other. While many recognize this as an issue that could result in employees being less productive, it has actually resulted in them accepting that their work may run late into the evening or even into the weekend. I agree with this completely in that I grew up being taught that business is business and personal is personal; you leave your home life at the door. But now times have changed, and my weekends are no longer dedicated to my home life, but for work, because I attend classes during the week. Also, in my line of work in the Allied Health industry, it is a requirement to work off hours. Long gone are the days of working nine to five, Monday through Friday; technology and the demand of wanting affairs done and done as soon as possible, has made it so the “work week” is now 24-7. “Jon Della Volpe, the director of polling at Harvard Institute of Politics, said, ‘Some experts also believe that today’s young people are better at quickly switching from one task to another, given their exposure to so many stimuli during their childhood and adolescence’” (Rampbell,
Showing up for work on time is the first thing that a person has to do if working at Subway. When a person goes to work, he or she must be dressed in proper uniform. This
In this write-up, I would be describing, analyzing and evaluating integrated working in healthcare in England. Over the last periods in the England there has been a growing importance by the government on co-operative care, inter specialised working, and partnerships between the health and community care services.
If you’ve worked in your life then you know that working takes effort, dedication, and hard work. Work for many can also be a struggle just like it was for the main character in “What Work Is” by Philip Levine and for Jim Grayson’s in his interview in “Working” by Studs Terkel. Both the man in “What Work Is” and Jim Grayson are struggling with their experiences with work. The man in “What Work Is” cannot find a job and his brother is overworked, Jim Grayson has a job but it 's very tedious and he doesn’t spend much time with family. Work is a struggle as proved by Philip Levine and Jim Grayson, they conveyed this by using ethos, pathos, and logos as well as literary elements and techniques.
"Don't let the horrors of yesterday affect the beauty of today" an unknown source said. This means don't let something that has already happened affect you because there is nothing that can be done about it since it already happened. People constantly feel the need to correct mistakes that occurred in the past even though not a single thing can be done, because it already took place. The key is to move on and forget about it; if people do not then their thoughts will eat them alive. Although the work force is a horrific place with nasty people and you might need to be a little mean to get somewhere, a positive outlook on life is of the utmost importance because then you won't affected by things that will try to knock you off your pathway to success, and your overall quality of life will improve exponentially. Living life with a positive attitude will result in not being affected by negative obstacles, because those
Thinking that I was strong minded and never looking at the negatives, ones suspicions changed my whole mind setting. After an endless wait in the mournful waiting room of the hospital, my name was called. The nurse brought us to Dr. Yazay's office where he confirmed his suspicions, and so began my life with scoliosis. Since the age of eight I have been swimming. I was a competitive swimmer for nine years, and now had to deal with a life without the activities I felt defined my identity. The treatment for my scoliosis involved wearing the most uncomfortable thing in the world which was a brace. With several restrictions on my physical activity, I had an abundance of free time on my hands.
helps us to behave within society rules. With that being said I believe it encourages people to have a sense of moral beliefs along with guidance. Which leads me to have faith that people are capable of separating there right from wrongs. Making themselves aware and in control of their own futures. For instants when I am faced with a difficult situation I know that it is up to me to make the choice not only to benefit myself, but to be concerned of those around me as well. It also ties in with the way we act, this is known as behaviorism the claim on minds and/or mental events in which they can be expressed in terms of behaviors (“Ontology”) studied by
A couple of weeks ago, the class was assigned a personal narrative essay and the prompt was to tell an interesting story of a specific experience that changed how you acted, thought, or felt. To be honest, I was awfully excited to write this essay because talking about myself is the easiest thing to write about sometimes. However, deciding what experience to talk about was challenging because I have already experienced so much in my seventeen years of being alive from dislocating my hip when I was three, to seeing my grandfather die in front of my eyes, from almost tripping off of the trail on the Grand Canyon, to meeting band members at an airport. Writing this essay brought me many challenges, I did not know what topic to
In the book Outliers, and in the articles, “Meaningful Work”, “Do, Just, Do: A Journey to Meaningful, Satisfying work”, and “ You Wont Find Meaningful work Looking Outside Yourself”, The authors Malcolm Gladwell, Michael F. Steger, Lori Deschene, and Keven wood describe what the joy of meaningful is to them.Life is what you make of it and it’s and up to you to decide what you will get out of it. Some people may work eight hour shifts Monday through Friday miserable, exhausted, depressed, unhappy, and under a lot of pressure and stress from their jobs. Others may do the same, similar, or different jobs being comfortable, happy with life, and pleased with their job position. Your job should be one of the most important things to you because you are there on average forty hours a week and most of your time is spent there. It should be important that you enjoy what you do because it is practically your second home. Meaningful work is a job you enjoy doing, are compassionate about, never tired of, and do for the fulfillment of yourself , it is important to success because if one enjoys what they do opportunities in their career path will only expand.
To begin, I honestly believe it is necessary to be dedicated to your job. It is necessary to be one hundred percent dedicated to whatever you are doing if you wish to get substantial results. If you look at statistics, you will realize that it took years of blood and sweat, otherwise known as dedication, to get something fulfilling. Jesse Owens once aptly stated, “We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” I honestly believe that if you wish to be successful in your occupation you must be willing to put in the effort. You will not be satisfied with your work if you do not do whatever you can to get it done. To sum up, you must ...
I’ve always had a passion for helping others and I love the idea of being considered a dependable person. I enjoy when others come to me to talk about the hardship they are experiencing and being able to provide them with feedback or helpful advice. To do this I learned that you need to have the characteristics of a “people person”. You must be patient, which from my job experience of working in retail and the fast food industry, I would consider myself to be a highly patient person. I also posses the the skill of being outgoing and friendly. I allow myself to be comfortable when speaking with different types of people and I let myself open up so I can personally relate to them. By doing this I believe that others will return the comfort that I created and will want
In conclusion this paper has looked at some of the work ethics important for success in the workplace. The paper explicitly looked at teamwork and communication. These two work ethics along with the other eight work ethics of attendance, appearance, attitude, character, cooperation, organization, productivity, and respect should play an important part in one’s working career.
Exhausted, bitter, and miserable is the way that many people feel when they wake up in the morning to get ready for work. Even the very thought of work puts some people in a bad mood. Others may not mind work but still do not look forward to going. It is a rare occasion to find someone who is completely satisfied with his or her career. However, for one man, work is bliss. In “Quality” by Galsworthy, Gessler, the shoemaker, is shown to be a man of integrity and of complete dedication to his work.
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Once said by a brilliant man Steve Jobs, Apple Inc. co-founder, chairman and CEO. This quote expired myself to create a truly satisfied place that I want to work and will love doing.
