Often do I meet people frustrated and confused with their job situations. Frustration at one's Workplace can have an acute impact on ones 'WMP' - Wellness Mindfullness and Peace.
As a young MBA, when I got frustrated at my workplace for the first time, I accidentally got chatting with my Dad. Guess what ? He dug out from his collection of books and gifted me of all the things - a 'book-mark' ! I thanked him and dismissively, without reading pushed it in one of my books, more to make him happy.
A few months later, I got to read it and that became since my 'Go To Read', each time that I was frustrated at work . It was a poem by Frank Collins on that 'book-mark'... "What Kind Of A Chap Are You ?"
Read for it may help you too ...
What Kind Of A Chap Are You ?
Are you one of the chaps
who can take his raps
And still not hit the floor;
Who'll stick by the gun
till the task is done
And then look
'round for more ?
Do you grin at your work
or sulk and shirk
When the job seems hard to do
Are you there with the Grit
to do your bit;
Can the boss depend on you?
If your conscience is clear,
with nothing to fear
As you punch the clock
each night;
When you leave the job,
do your pulses throb
With the thought of a job
done right?
Is it pleasure or dread
when you pillow your head
And think of the coming day;
Do you breathe a prayer
for strength to bear
Does your job mean simply play?
Just pause a bit
and see if you fit
In the class
that's pictured here -
For its never too late
to clean the slate
And start
on a record clear.
Frank A. Collins
