Do we all have 2 jobs?

Dr Lim Suet Wun the CEO of Tan Tock Seng hospital told staff at the Quality Day Launch today that all of us need to see ourselves with 2 jobs. One is our regular job and the second, just as important is improving on our regular job.

The trouble that when we have two jobs, we tend to focus on one and forget the other. More often than not, it is usually the second. Maybe it is better to just have one job and one can say that is the second.

We all can get caught in the tide of busyness and settle to be contented with just doing our jobs. But human beings are not created to do the same thing over and over again. We get bored... uncreative...dissatisfied... and wonder why things don't improve. In short we get into the rut!

My pastor once told us, "to do the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome is FOOLISHNESS!" If we want a different outcome, what we do must change.

But, I am already so busy, how do I get time to make improvements. The beauty is that when we do make improvements, our jobs become easier to do, much more satisfying and we will get less busy! Go ahead, make a difference...make a change for the better!
