Life is too short for the wrong job...
Honestly this topic has been making me think a lot, so many times i think, i spend something like 10-12 hours at office and sometimes, in case i have urgent issues, i spend a couple of hours infront of my laptop at home! This makes me think, is it worth it? is this really what i wanted to do in life? does my Job get everything out of me? My creative thinking, my motivation, my passion, my skills or am wasting my time here... The answer is surely NO it doesnt!Yet some other times I think, it is really what you make out of the job. I Beleive, any Job can be made fun, motivating & creative.. it is mostly the attitude.. This might sound too idealistic yet this is the attitude i am using lately and honestly it works!! I started just being more myself at work, doing sales in more lively fashion yet still trying to maintain professionalism and I just love it, my business partners love it and my colleagues as well, my manager 'I hope', admiting the fact that
he sits infront of me and I have to be loud to be myself, heheh
So if you think you are in the wrong Job, ofcourse change it if you can, if not then change your attitude and way of doing business.. it should work ;-)
Be yourself, people would fall in Love with God's creation :))

Hey DD,
Excellent post. Frankly, I have been thinking about the same issue recently. I have been working 12 hours daily not including commuting for three hours to and from work.
However, I tend to disagree about your statement that any job can be made better by just changing your attitude. There is the job fit, company fit, career fit and many other factors that tip off attitude when the going gets tough.
I spent two and a half years doing a job I absolutely hated. Nothing helped me survive those days except God's grace. My attitude failed me most of the time.
So, while attitude counts, there are many circumstances beyond your control. So if you're going nowhere with your job and the job market sucks, then you're stuck. Attitude can only help you survive until a certain point, beyond which you really need to GET OUT:).
