Duty, Commitment, and Responsibility

What a day! The rain is falling heavily all day! And this night, very very cold that I could say. *being a turtle behind the wool blanket*

Today, a part of my mind so full with one word : job . Why?

For me, a job is not only a job. A job is full with responsibility and needs commitment to do that. Maybe all I could say is it depends on each individual. and again, for me, it's a principal.

Actually I don't know where to start, hahaha so let's start with what I do now. I haven't tell you yet what kind of job that I'm doing. I became an junior architect (especially in urban planning but sometimes we could do other design too) this job is very very hard and  tough for some people. But actually I don't feel that way. Some people feel that the salary and the job isn't match. The salary is pretty small and the job takes time so much. The job is from Monday until Friday, 8 a.m until 5 p.m. The rest they count it as overtime.

I don't need so much money at the moment, because I still live with my parents and don't have to pay for rent anything. The lunch, I get it at office, and same with dinner (if I have to work overtime). So that I use this time to do this job and I could learn so much things there. I knew I still suck at work, knowing just a small part from the huge world of architecture. But, eventhough it's a small job with a small salary, I still feel having a huge responsibility there. I know what kind of living in architecture things. Sleeping late at night or sometimes we don't sleep at all, working all the time, and etc. But sometimes, some people (I don't judge anyone in this post :3 ) just willing do that job with an appropriate salary and do not have to do working over time. That's not wrong, but back again, it's depends on each individuality. and this time I like my friends quote when I asked her whether she often works overtime or not (she's a junior architect too).

In my office, working overtime is up to us, for me, it depends on responsibility and each individual target.

I like that answer so much. I don't feel working over time is bad, ( I mean they pay for my overtime too), but the first what the difference is, How people respond to it. If my duty (about the project) is unfinished so I will willingly stay up late to continue that projects. but my boy doesn't like it. He always wants to go home right at five p.m. He doesn't wanna know about the projects, and still the contract said office hours it finish at 5 p.m and that's all, no needs to work over time. But i feel that the project is my responsibility so I have to do the best that I can to finish it. Arguing with him would be endless and ending with I said yes to everything that he said.

Working isn't always all about the contract and salary. It's about passion, with the responsibility and commitment. 

It's already being my principal, when I work, wherever my office, I'll do my best, I'll follow the rule, and it's all because I feel the urgent about the responsibility. It's not like I wanna take the promotion about the salary (like my boy always said). To do that thing, I know it's though, but again, i know i'm not a kid anymore and I have to learn how to live as an adult with so much problems to take. learn to take the responsibility, I still lack at it, but I promise to keep learning and learning.

In your opinion, what make some people think that working at some places (or offices) is heavy and have a thought that office isn't good enough to work at?

According to my experience, it's because that people who feel that way, isn't thankful with the place they have to work. Everything that starts with a gratitude, will make you gladly work or do anything without feel that job isn't though. Why my experience? Because I saw my sister, when she didn't get what she wants, she always does everything with grumbling. And the result? it's bad. But she learned to receive (at that time, the case was about senior high school) the school, and her school living became fun and undemanding.

Being thankful and grateful makes you feel no burden to take. You could do everything with glade, and everything becomes fun.

Lakukanlah segala sesuatu dengan tidak bersungut-sungut dan berbantah-bantahan. - Filipi 2 : 14

It's not just for all about work, it could be everything, like the example, for school or other things. When you thankful to God about what you are now, where you school / work now, I'm sure it would be blessing for you.

You don't have to say, "I'm not that advance because I'm school at that university" , "The university is suck, so do the lecturers, making the student stupid" or "I'm not making a good progressive because that office / college isn't good too, it would be better that I went to college in B university" and etc. Let's do a small introspection. Isn't that words portray how we blame other people. Why we just blame others about our progressive work or the other things? 

The key to success

Bagi saya, (in Bahasa suddenly isn't problem right? Hehehe) menyalahkan suatu pihak tertentu tentang kerja kita, atau sedikitnya pegetahuan kita, pengalaman kita, doesn't making any sense!! Apa yang kita raih sekarang, apa yang ada pada diri kita sekarang, merupakan cerminan kita di masa yang lalu. Bagaimana kita belajar meraih masa depan? apakah hanya dengan menunggu orang lain MENGAJAK diri kita untuk maju? I DON'T think so guys! Mengajak diri kita untuk maju, adalah tugas diri kita sendiri. Tidak usah menyalahkan orang lain tapi mulailah rubah dirimu, agar bisa lebih maju sendiri. 

Be ACTIVE not PASSIVE! Talk less do more guys! hohoho

Bukan masalah di universitas A orangnya malas-malas, tidak ada persaingan di sana, orang-oang yang berada di sana tidak mempunya cara berpikir seperti di Universitas B, fasilitas universitas jelek, dan lain-lain, tetapi sekali lagi karen diri kita yang tidak mau mengakui bahwa kita sendiri tidak mau maju untuk meraih masa depan yang lebih baik.

Akui diri sendiri masih buruk dalam suatu hal, dengan rendah hati mau belajar, dengan kemauan tinggi mau berusaha, dengan komitmen mau maju, I think we'll be success. Walaupun kadang orang lain bisa sukses dalam sekejap atau dengan pekerjaan yang sepele orang lain dapat menghasilkan uang yang banyak. Kadang faktor keberuntungan bisa berpengaruh. Tapi kalo kita mau menekuni pekerjaan kita dengan sungguh dan dengan perasaan bersyukur dengan tempat di mana Tuhan menempatkan kita, aku yakin kita bakal bisa menjalani pekerjaan tersebut tanpa bersungut-sungut. :)

So, I think that's for tonight, to end the day with a contemplation. So much thing to contemplate and to introspection. I always hope I could done my job well, and my knowledge becomes larger, and my skills is making a good progress :) and then I will be brave to facing this giant world as an adult with a mature way of thinking. :D Hope me success guys! Nite~
