How many people actually love what they do? I am not sure.
But, what I can tell you for sure is. I absolutely love my job. I went to office at around 9:15 AM yesterday, came back at 9:20 PM, and started working again from 10 PM, and continued to work till 5:00 AM. Despite the fact that I got no sleep, I am so bloody charged up to go to work and start knocking off project after project.
The reason is not that I get paid a a lot, I don’t. The reason simple. I love what I do — it is not work for me. It is my way of having fun.
Last week, I got to work on a project where I had to challenge myself to the core and design a product strategy which can help streamline efforts of many heads. This week, I am working on a project which if successful will have a big impact on the entire region across geographies. The best part is: I am learning new things on the job.
I learn new things everyday: new ways to solve a problem, new ways to think about a particular situation, new ways to address issues, new ways to establish communication channels, and just when I think I am getting good at this stuff — there is something new that comes up
It is not that I always work so much. I get a fare share of break too. I take usually take a leave on Friday to enjoy a long weekend drive, and cherish my other passions (travel, photography, and tasting local cuisines.) Sometimes, I end up going to office late but as long as the work is getting done. All is good!
Life doesn’t get any better. I hope that I always stay as passionate about my work as I am today and hopefully always get interesting things to do and new problems to solve.
Chalo, gotta go to work and play
