I know many people see business as this boring, monotonous life that has to be done in order to put food on the table. That is the way they think a business should be run and they are right afterall, a business does have to be serious.
Business men do not crack jokes
Business men do not go on vacation
Business men do not play games
Business then seems to be all about meetings upon meetings, cutting costs, firing staffs and balancing accounts.
We should not however get carried away with the work and fail to loosen up and just relax and enjoy ourselves. Maybe we should ask ourselves this question: “Are you living 365 days a year or living 1 day 365 times?”. Do not be so hard on yourself, spread out a little!
Smart business men realise that having enough play time is as important as having a rigorous work schedule. Most times breakthrough ideas come to you during play, not when you lock up the conference room and declare that no one goes home until an answer is found.
Why so serious?
The heart and soul of a business is supposed to be to enrich people’s lives, to move mountains for them while they pay you (happily) for it. I re-read that sentence a dozen times and I cannot find anything boring and awkward about it.
Yet, boring and awkward is the perfect adjective that can be used to describe a lot of business-type folks out there.
Spread out a little! Why so serious??
(Its April fools day, INEC Boss; Jega messed up my intended prank yesterday evening and the other prank in mind (No more #TMP) was deemed as too expensive. But you should go on and prank some folks… Enjoy!)
