Ups and Downs, Balance?

Its been time since I blogged properly I guess. Especially about reality. Anyway here goes.

Recently my friend and I just discussed of the ups and downs of working life. Which ever part is it balanced? We often wonder where are the wonderful theories "You will get what you want if you work out as hardworking and smart" and "Hardwork pays it all". Things just does not seems like what it's suppose to be when you deliver yourself to the working society, the reality of life.

That's when you start to feel that work does not pay off anymore, you lose motivation, you no longer work as well as you suppose to be when you just started. (You can be in denial but try evaluating yourself. Got me? ^^)

But please do remind yourself that the HUMANs as we are often fall for the simplest sins that any man or women will make (And I don't mean LUST, and I do mean everyone just depending how well can you resist it; Even if a monk does not control well will also slighty fall in). What I meant is the word "ENVY". When the word envy kicks in, slowly one would feel threaten in some other way when it comes to work post related. SO what they do in return for your hardwork? I guess many would have many different type of return so I'm not in the position to list any.

Besides that fact, the other word called "Misunderstanding" also comes into place. Whether you like it or not, misunderstanding often happen. It just depends on how do you reduce the severity as well as handling it. I once heard this and I quote: "Misunderstanding. No matter who started a ruckus over a matter, there is no doubt that it your fault." Weird isn't it, but its true. Its something hard to avoid as we live in a world with many different people with different culture, different believes and etc. To make things a little clear for you guys, a joke can be a real laugh for one but can offend the other. Agree?

I guess it comes back to the point, how much more that we really need to work on in order to get the expected return? From what I said so far may seems endless, but living up your life and often keep in mind of the concept "give and take", never to be in excess, as well as looking things at the brighter side, slowly but surely you'll get the satisfaction you wanted, of course in various ways. You may not see it now, but you'll see it when people starts appreciating you.

Cheers.
