Day Thirteen.

Today i have learned a very good lesson. Something i will carry on with me, probably my entire life. At least I hope so. No it wasn't about librarianship or internship, it was about the working field in general. Having to work with people everyday can be a huge factor in your life. Things will always happen that can take an affect on your day, your week, your month etc. The easiest way to not feel like the problems are yours, is to blame other people for everything and in doing so disable your ability to reflect on yourself. It's true, you don't have to be in love with every co-worker that you work around, any staff member above you or below you. You don't even have to like them. But that is not what the work place is all about, it's about managing your own work in a professional way and handling work related problems in a tactful manor. Today I have learned that in a place of work, it is easy to be caught up in personal problems and is difficult to stray away from the negative sometimes. But no matter what, you get paid to do your best, not do your best to blame other people or even solve every problem. Reflecting on myself though-out the day will make me a better person. Honestly.

p.s. It sounds easy sometimes, but it is truly something you learn in time and through experience. Thanks Tina.

I found this quote.
If the career you have chosen has some unexpected inconvenience, console yourself by reflecting that no career is without them.
