Should we feel happy about been hired by a gud company for a gud salary ? Or feel sad about letting someone else own our time, our activities, our creativity, our life (for at least 8 hr/day). We who say- I do watever I like to do, I don't wanna anyone dominating me. I remember the night before civil engg. course end sem. I had read just 1 unit out of 5, still chatted with my brother whole night, just because i didn't wanna to study. Going out for ice cream on dec. night, even when i had cold, just because i wanted to have it at tat time only. We who never wanted someone else making decision for us. I remember arguing my grand parents when they wanted me to travel next day instead of tat day, just because i didn't liked anyone else forcing their decision on me.
And I am the one who accepted the offer of been hired without questioning it once, and the irony is I was happy about it. Just because i hadn't taken it this way. At tat time it seemed so common and usual. But it is ok for that time, i must have this experience also.
So, now i go to office daily, work whole day even when i don't wanna to go or work, just because i am being paid for it. Can we work with full efficiency with such a motivation ? And after 4 months i have realized, i can work with my full efficiency only when I work for myself, when i own my time & activity, when i work only when i like, not under any other pressure. I remember some of my assignments during college days. The deadline was near, so i had to work even when i didn't felt like. So, couldn't work with full enthu & couldn't find solution. I gave up, decided not to submit the assignment and prepared myself for losing grade (even dropping course in worst case). Then started feeling fresh, no tension & pressure. Then tried to solve the problem just for myself and when i felt to work on it. And i got solution much before deadline. Only when we let our self work watever we like and whenever we like, then only throughput can be max. Feeling of someone else making decision on what I should work on, when I should work on, kills my enthu to work. Feeling of working under compulsion reduces motivation.
I don't know why it is only me, who got these feelings ? Is it like i am defending myself ? Or is it due to i belong to a business family, used to the environment where everyone work for their own ? Or due to the environment where I have been brought up, never had any restriction or compulsion ? I am not sure of the reason right now. The best thing for now is to try to prove myself in current environment. I will definitely learn a lot in the process. Then i will be sure tat i am made not to work for anyone else but only for myself :).
