I make my work
beautiful by the simple principle which is quoted by Frank Clark and followed
by me - "The next best thing to
solving a problem is finding some humour in it." Once a colleague told me that I inspire him as I laugh
at my own problems at work. I try to ease the toughest situation by finding humour
in it. Humour is the best therapy. Not very long ago, we had an
issue at office which had to be solved late in the night to send to the client.
It was raining cats and dogs and we any way couldn't go home. I got the
brilliant idea of ordering pizza and Choco lava from nearby Dominos and make
the atmosphere light. It feels good to work with satisfied appetite. When it is
rumbling the ranting gets more acidic. Everyone was surprised when I was
actually ordering but I continuously said that we needed a break. After an
endless pursuit everyone agreed and we relished the pizza, coke and Choco lava
and guess what after good food, good conversations and smiles shared with in
the group we could confidently resolve the issue and send a mail to the client.
The next day we got an appreciation mail which surely brightened the morning.
The joys at work place whether big or small feel good. More than work it’s all
about the team spirit and the healthy bonding. If you feel good with your team
mates then I believe work is a child’s play. It’s essential to have good vibes
and a positive atmosphere at work place and one must not forget to have fun.
Even if your team mates suck it is essential for you to try and be happy all
the time. The positive aura you generate will surely be infectious and may even
change the grumpy people around you.
I am no super woman. I lose my cool and behave
like one frustrated soul many a times. When I am in a horrible situation I
wriggle out only by remembering the good old words and days. No one is going to pump confidence in me. I
need to fight my demons all by myself. There are good days and bad days in any
one’s professional as well as personal lives. No one promised every day to be
rosy but just finding something good at work or at home every day will surely
make one feel better. It can be anything ranging from a coffee shared with a
good friend, listening to music when you are tired, reading a good book or
article and sharing it with someone who would be interested. When I feel I
cannot solve a problem my mom always comes to my rescue. When I feel my life is
rough or tough I just remember all those inspiring people whose life is just
like mine or may be tougher. So I am the Mia woman and I would always try to be
one!
