-worst part of my job-
sometimes it takes more than just luck and talent to succeed. one also needs patience.
in my short time as a supervisor, it never missed to piss me off when people just give up on themselves. they stopped pushing themselves to attain the goal that they wanted. they just came to me and told me: "coach, ayaw ko na". i really think that it is the most childish act ever - to just give up.
i am perfectly aware of the different circumstances that we all face outside the workplace. i am also aware that isolating professional life from one's private life is easier said than done. but the rest of the world will not stop moving just because we have decided to.
we all get burnt out and all come to a point of wanting to quit and to stop and just resign from everything. but where is the pleasure in life if we always resign? isn't it satisfying to overcome a hurdle that you initially thought too big to conquer? isn't that rewarding enough?
i am ranting because i feel so disappointed to a person whom i found to have so much potential for growth and development but has just decided to make that potential happen. what pisses me even more is the knowledge that no matter how much i rant on this matter, she has already given up.
