As I meet people from different walks of life,I learn from the experiences. I keep noticing those who would always complain. Not that I don't complain, but these people make it a habit. As we battle in the cycle of life, it is inevitable that we are faced by challenges. These challenges test our character as a person for ourselves and for others.

When we are given a task we complain on how heavy it is or how stressful it is for us to perform it ,even if we haven't started it yet. We will only be motivated to do it if at the end we will receive praises and acknowledgment from other people. I agree and I will not be a hypocrite to admit that these are not important recognitions to have after a specific work has been done. I keep on asking myself if this is the only thing that matters when a person works?

I have heard those who always complain because they are having stress doing something. If it is just a little thing and you believe it gives you stress then don't do it. Who forces you to do it? Stress from doing works creates problem to yourself and to others. It is much better that when you do a specific task you do it wholeheartedly.Anyway, you will not die if you can't accomplish it.It's a matter of physical and mental management. The moment you see work and your mind tells you it's heavy then it will be. If nobody forces you to do it and you think no praises will follow then don't do it.That's a simple life rule to follow.

At the end of this all, it helps me realize that accomplishment in doing something does not end by receiving praises and acknowledgment. The ultimate purpose of work is for us to realize how we become a person  willing to do extraordinary things for ourselves and for others.

The meaning of work is not at the end, it is the process that we undergo and the lessons we learn as we try to accomplish a task. Do it wholeheartedly for intrinsic rewards will be achieved.

I commend those who work and give the true meaning of work as they perform it.

This will be a reminder to myself.
