I watched a short overview on television about Kyoto.
There was this very old guy who worked in one very expensive antique inn ($1000 / night). He worked as a guests' shoe care-taker and he was very proud of what he does there.
Then there were a few old workers on an abandoned railroad in one of the areas, and they build back the railroads to activity and hustles and bustles on their own initiatives. The comopany was almost bankrupt, and they thought since this would probably our last try, while we're waiting to be kicked off let's do something to prevent it! Which I think was an enermous thing to do, most of us would turn our backs and find another job. But they made it.
Success is a step away from when you feel like giving up.
Then, even still there was a girl who worked as... eerr.. I'm not sure what but it's some kind of a fishcatcher. She's still an apprentice and confesses that right now she's still learning how to pull back the rope, at which she will still need 3-5 years to master it before learning something else.
She absolutely has ambition and determination. But her ambition does not run wildly, she has ambition to be perfect in what she does. Most of us does not and will not think this way at all.
I have absolute awe and respect for this people.
Though I can never be like them, but I'd like to think that I will someday be as proud as the shoe caretaker.
Recently I've gotten numerous job from my boss. Some of it are actually my job, which I don't mind getting except that he's giving me extra load about other jobs as well. I'm trying to do it without mouthing any complaints to him or looking reluctant, it's a bit tricky to do with all the deadlines coming up.
I keep reminding myself that, this isn't much yet, I would probably need 3-5 years to be truly expert in this so I should take my time and learn everything I can while I do my tasks.
I also keep reminding myself that, when all the unfairness and petty annoyance happens around me, I need to focus and contribute 'my share' to the organization and not mind these so much. I shall not be envious, shall not be too gossipy ( a little won't hurt much right?) , shall not be sly to anyone, shall not try to make someone else look stupid. Be honest, be humble, do the job right.
I hope I can keep this challenge.

the most important thing is, do you enjoy it ? Everybody need to focus including the boss, becouse he hold the work flow, you can and should ask first when boss give you out of your job description especially when a lot job you have to finish, so if the boss insist you to handle it you can ask some help authority from the boss legaly
i think thats not your share its your kindness, when come to kindness you know what to expect right ? :)
well thats just my view
have a nice day
hope you can survive

wow! lookeee I got a comment! HAHAHHA. Comments in the blog is like the blue moon phrase. Thanks!
I don't enjoy it after an extent of course. Lol. Asking about job desc to my bosses are a total suicide. They first tell you you're in the product development, then they give you a job about say profit sharing report, then if you ask they'll tell you it's the process of understanding your product. Talk about mind twister..
