Today, I didn't expect to see a pivotal drama around the office and still I did. Office drama are normal occasion in my company as the professional environment is a mere word rather than reality. Contemplating of reality, this is not where my knowledge should belong.
After office hour, I've decided to go to Kinokuniya, it is a Japanese bookstore branch in Dubai Mall. In this store, there are days where I used to read books after work. If the book is really amazing I could stay there until shoppers go thin and thin.
While I was busy reading, there is this customer attendant staff who interrupted me for a bit. He is a fellow 'Kabayan' (a Filipino term for countrymen) we had a small talk which later on end on the topic of job opportunities. He is Jonathan, I can see that he is in late 20's and had been working quiet some time in the Bookstore.
I can feel from the way he share things that he is bored with the whole routine of his work. At the back of my head it says that, How can a person get bored in a 100,000 of books which every person would be wishing to know. Every books available there is categorized within the sophiticate bookshelves they have --- this is the equivalent of Big Brain Storage with different categories of ideas.
There are almost 1,000,000 books in different categories, maybe much more. It means that there are many ways to explain certain phenomenon and people can create stories they desire and that ideas are limitless. As we end my conversation with Jonathan, it left me the notion that this man has been looking at work to earn money. He never saw the possiblity of using the books around him as his tools to leverage from others.
For all the laborers, look around you. Do you have anything available there for you take advantage and then apply it to your own dream venture. Never waste time for a short entertainment. Save all the good time when money is not your problem anymore. You need to see beyond that mere eyes of yours.
