The ‘what and how’ mantra
I remember a song that we learnt as kids: In every job we undertake there is a little bit of fun/We find the fun and snap the job again/Then every task we undertake/ Becomes a piece of cake. A lark, a spree/It’s very clear to see. These days, I frequently sing it.Let’s learn to love what we are doing. Instead of wondering why we are stuck with it, let’s ask ourselves what it was that first got us going and how we overcame teething troubles to reach where we are. Generally, ‘what’ and ‘how’ are considered positive questions; whereas, ‘why’ is considered negative. If we have lost sight of the fun in the job, let’s find it again. And when we do, we’d have bounced back in love with the job, with the task on hand.
