If you've ever asked yourself what the perfect job was, it would probably be one with little work and plenty pay, preferably. In my neck of the woods this would literaly translate to some oil and gas job.
Some weeks ago i asked myself after a days work, 'if the shoes were on the other feet and i was my employer, would i pay myself what i presently earned as a salary'. This was a difficult one to answer, so i decided to throw it open to some colleague's. I got some interesting anwers to the question as one or two stated immediately that they could not, another actually stated that he could only pay a third of his current salaryand put the rest to better use. This answers were a result of self examination based on daily input and exercetions on the job as against their impact on the actual job.
Some days back i watched a snippet from Fela Durotoye (speakers corner, VIP consulting) where he spoke on the difference between earning a salary and making a difference daily by adding value and why the latter was more important for the nation to develop. I agree strongly with that principle as many of us today have fallen into the trap of appearing at the office and not actually attempting to improve our quality of work or add value to our jobs.
