Always a job

Jari Parantainen from Noste.fi emphasized in a lecture at the beginning of 2010 that tackling a customer’s irksome task ensures you’ll always have a job.

Take a moment to observe your workplace and notice how many people try to avoid challenging and irksome tasks. When someone finally takes on such a task, they might find themselves feeling annoyed during the work, possibly even into the evening and the next morning.

However, some tasks simply must be done and for those who are willing, there will always be opportunities.

Remember, it is your mind that labels a task as irksome and unlikable. You have a choice: you can agree with this view and avoid the task or tackle it and feel annoyed. Alternatively, you could choose not to believe your mind’s negative chatter, complete the task and go home happy, knowing you’ve achieved something others shy away from.
