Five life lessons i learnt from my job.

It's been an awfully long time since I've blogged!

So.....Annyeonghaseyo!

 

Anyways.

If you know me (or if you've been reading my blog) you'll probably know I've been working.

And like everything that happens in life,

here are some life lessons I learnt from my two months job!

 

1. money can buy you happiness

even if it is temporary, yes.

I've seen the way a kid's eyes light up when they get to order whatever they want

and sod kids, I've even seen adult's eyes brighten up the same way.

and both speaks of one same thing - happiness.

so no, I will not sound like a hipster and insist that money cannot buy you happiness because money buys you frozen yoghurt with rainbow sprinkles and that brings you happiness.

 

2. smile

"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart." - Proverbs 15:30

this is very true.

by working in the service line,

I realized that a smile can change things.

a smile can brighten up a foul mood,

a weary soul,

and even calm (moody) customers.

and this is one lesson which is way valuable than any other. 

 

3. life is (too) short

as short as the time taken for frozen yoghurt to melt that is.

I've seen people sitting there taking pictures of their froyo,

surfing the web before eating their froyo,

making life decisions while staring at their froyo.

anyways, my point is.

before you are able to plan how you want to enjoy your froyo,

you may realize that it has already melted.

same as life and time. nuff said.

 

4. techniques overcomes brute force

this is too true.

one of the many things I do is moving tables,chairs and boxes around.

and mind you, there is always a simpler way to finish a task.

it may be the way you move it,

or the direction it is in.

so trust me, always ask or learn the techniques people have used before.

you may have the strength but you will end up losing a lot of them and time.

I guess it pretty much works that way in real life too.

 

5. there is always something to learn 

from methods used in cutting fruits to the fine virtue of responsibility,

I always believe that regardless when and where,

there is always something to learn.

life is how you see it.

if you take every difficult task and turn it into a learning experience,

you'll find it way more challenging and even rewarding.

I kid you not!

 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post.

and for those who are having exams...

may God be ever in your favor !
