Attitude at work.... WORKS!!!!

I’ve been planning to write about this  but have no idea how to convey my ideas into my blog. How to retell what’s actually really useful especially in youth life nowadays.

I was in a meeting with Board of Directors and Owners, in the other night before I was tempted to watch ‘Devil Wears Prada’, let’s say for my third times… So, the meeting became very exciting day like you knew what’s reasoning, maybe it’s my compassion at work or it’s just because the movie I watched. Speaking of which, they saw me as too young for my profession at the same time they were amazed of what I’ve done so far.

It was truly compliment and making me proud. That’s why I keep on questioning myself, If I can why other people can’t? and what’s making it actually?

After the meeting, I went back to office and found my assistant talked to me while yawning and telling me that many of my Bahasa words are not common in translation I did (I think It’s time for me to scream ‘Mother F***er’ what the H**l you said?!). Of course I chose to not listening to him, walking to my desk and then ask him politely ‘ Sebanyak apa Bahasa saya yang salah?’

He answered, ‘Banyak Mbak, artinya kurang pas.. ‘

I replied, ‘Coba tunjukkan saya, nanti saya perbaiki.’

He grabbed his note and showed me only 2 parts in which I forgot to write the word ‘kami’ and ‘nilai’ in that translation.

I directly responded to him, “ saya rasa, kamu yang pemahaman bahasa Indonesia nya kurang, BANYAK means more than two! And for your lesson, It’s not polite talking to others while yawning … it’s not an attitude!”

Soon after he started to remain himself thinking properly without making any stupid actions.

I finally encouraged myself to share what I know so far about how to behave and having good manners at work. Hope this going to be useful and can give illustration about what working life is.

LISTEN

As a new comer at work, you should listen more than talking. While doing it, observe your colleagues’ character.

You don’t need to share your idealism too much or being too “smarty pants” as it is considered as too much!

The more you know about your colleagues you can adjust your attitudes to other smooth and nicely.

THROW YOUR IDEALISM TEMPORARY

If this is not your company, your ideas are considered unused. So, stop being so strong holding your idealism and start to do what your boss wants you to do.

If you think this not suit you then go home and start your own company. I said temporary for at some point you can share your ideas and idealism when the time is right.

No matter they will use your idealism or not, it’s good for having the chance to share.

POLITE

Talk clearly.. when you talk to someone, make sure they hear what you say. You don’t talk for yourself, don’t you?

Don’t talk while yawning. Put your respect first to others. Make excuse for any actions and say thank you after.

Well, you may check guidance of manner for this matter.

LEARN

So many tools you can use at work to learn. The more you study about it, the sooner you catch up with all things at work.

This can be a plus point for you.

PRO-ACTIVE

I’m not good in explaining what definition of PRO-ACTIVE is, but here is the example.

When your boss asks you to  find samples of paper, you’re supposed to be proactively looking more than just samples of paper, but also the price, specification, vendor, and minimum order.

If they want A, give them A+!!!

I guess that’s all from me of my working life and how I learned so much form my Devil wears Christian Loubutin boss…. Then, here I am right now.

And the part from 'Devil wears Prada' movie I love the most is when the designer tells about “ when you’re personal life is messed-up, means you’re ready for promotion!” …

It doesn’t need to be messed-up actually … heheheh…
