Balancing Work And Friendship
I Remember when I worked one of the a best company here in Cebu, at first day of my work it’s really hard of course for I need to adjust the people around , the job site, surrounding’s everything. It’s really hard from time to time of working and I’m glad that it won’t take long time of familiarizing my job at the same time easy for me to get along with the people around specially to the senior staff. Until one time I met this one good person and we became good friend, in fact she’s the one or let me say she is my alarmed clock at work for being a neophyte there are times that I forget that we have a break time so she’s the one who reminds me. I really thank God for that, at least it won’t hard for me to adjust at work and it seems everything came easy to adjust at work and it seems everything came easy to me.
And from that time on I learn two things to that experience that I need to balance my work and my friendship. Yes it is true that friendship really helps in work because friends tend to think on on the same plane. I do agree on what a professional mother saying on one of the best newspaper have I read this morning. It says.”Misunderstanding at the work scene can not be avoided. ” Sometimes there are things that you do which may not be to her liking,” she said. Bu she does not allow it to affect her work and she with her friend always work it out.
When asked about balancing friendship and professionalism, she said:”When you’re at work, you should always be professional.
” You should never let your friendship overshadow what you need to do at work, what you need to do is a professional , because once too much friendship sinks in, you would tend to take things for granted.
Do not lose focus on what you need to do to be able to do well, if not excel in the job at hand.”
Professionalism and work may not be on the same plane, but it can survive with the right balance of friendship in the work atmosphere.
