How to Start the Week

How to Start the WeekYour brother called it Monday Blues, and you hated him for it. He knew you too well, as you became glum every Sunday night. Monday would be your least favorite day. And you often looked forward to Friday. You werent looking for a new job, you insisted many times. You wished you were in the university, with a slightest worry on your coursework. (You dont mind the secretary of the English Department glaring at you after you missed the deadline for the third time. You wrote your paper well enough, so you dont mind the deduction. And how right you were.) But those days were gone.Maybe it didnt dawn on you that youre no longer a teenager. A young adult can cling to some old habits, but some things must be changed. A positive attitude is one of them. You need to make a living. This wont make you cheerful about the first day of work, but you can learn a few things. Here are some suggestionsArrange a meeting with your friends for the weekend. Meeting your friends will gi ve you something to look forward to the weekend. It might motivate you in the workplace, even prompt you to give your colleagues a smile. (And they thought you were too serious about the job.) If your friends wont be available, for whatever reasons, then you might consider your workmates. Dont be shy. Theres no need to be alarmed as well. You spend more time with ansicht people, and the work environment will be more pleasant if you get to know each other.Indulge in your hobbies. Maybe youre not a workaholic, which is fine. You rather have distractions, which can be a good thing. It will motivate you to do better. (Dont make money your only goal in life.) This will make you feel good about yourself.Its OK to admit you dont like work. There are days when we dont feel like working at all, but we should. Your parents would tell you this when you were younger, and it made you embarrassed whenever you thought about it. You were rather coy about sharing your feelings with your colleagues, but you dont mind your brother. But he was insisting on going on a holiday. He had been talking about Indochina for years. (He could be Alex Garland.) He wanted you to be his travel buddy, but you werent ready to quit your job. Hes pursuing a graduate degree, but this will be another story. Read all news
