Coping with Job Insecurity

Last week, I saw a wonderful thought on the wall of my friend (Whom I never met or chat ... a Facebook Friend), Samruddh Prakash Bhatt, I wish to recite his post here...

This is for the salaried guys... those who are working...

Johnny Johnny.. YES PAPA!
Doing Job ..YES PAPA!
Lot of Tension..YES PAPA!
... Family Life..NO PAPA! ...
BP-Sugar..HIGH PAPA!
Yearly Bonus..JOKE PAPA!
Annual Pay..LOWEST PAPA!
Personal Life..LOST PAPA!
Promotion Incentives..HA!HA!


There is no difference between jonnies and you( if you are doing job and feeling insecure) you are working for someone... to fulfill someone's unfulfilled ambition and in order of doing that, you try to find out the ways and means to fulfill your dreams too... however it just a spiral......"I do job - I got salary...I pay bills... bills are raising everyday... feeling unsecured due to increased expenses...so in stress...trying to do better work ... and hoping for increments and incentives..." in order of doing this...you only end up increasing stress level and bills....

Is this a life that you dreamed of? Is this a life you want? or you wish to create a meaning out of your meaningless life?

In year 2010, I wrote an article about "Coping with Insecurity" and this article was published by magazine "Business Canada" and appreciated a lot.

Refer http://www.askcircle.com/resource/articles/nontechnical/Coping%20with%20Insecurity%201.pdf

One of the most interesting part is, even today if I read my own article, I can relate it to real life. If you are really interested in your introspection, you can download this and read it.

One of the prevailing issue with the employees in rat race is their inability to accept their present situation.. this is only for the people who feel insecurity... .. if you are jobless, struggling for the job, struggling to retain job, taking conference calls in night at 12 midnight, cant say no to your boss because if you do it - you will be harassed / fired and you are worried about your future.................This revels that you cant accept the life as it comes... you always want that your career life should behave in a predictable manner and in that race, you always live in future and you cant enjoy your present life... and you end up losing your life, health and everything for sake of your race to have a predictably increasing cash flow.

Is it a life? what are your priorities? lifestyle or style of living life? there is no point to enjoy shopping with your wife and you being busy in a con-call? F**K that call....and cultivate guts to face the situation... Sachin Tendulkar can score the best because he accept the ball as it comes and then decide his strategy to play that ball... every time he is not correct.. he takes bad decisions too... ... you cant accept him to remain notout everytime.... ...he can commit mistakes in most of the match........ still he is the best....... learn from him... ball is nothing but the situation--- accept it and play it gracefully.... and you will create wonders...

So think about it....and act on it... Live a happy life.... your days are just like diamonds and dont waste it....

Have a lovely life...
