My Reading Notes : How To Enjoy Your Life and Your Job
I found one of interesting books by Dale Carnegie in the
BBW event. At that time, I was wondering Dale Carnegie’s book with the title “How
to Enjoy Your Life and Your Job”. Then, I bought one and figured out that this
book was summary collections from Dale Carnegie’s two best sellers, “How to Win
Friends and Influence People” and “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”.
I would say this book is great to improve our attitude toward
our job. This means that our attitude can determine whether our days are filled
with excitement and the sense of fulfillment – or frustration, boredom, and
fatigue. This is why some people feel exhausted but they did nothing.
Therefore, this book tells about how to deal with our
job including habit, doing task, and handling people. However, I’d like to note
on how to banish boredom and start living peacefully with happiness toward our job.
1. Find yourself
and be yourself
We are unique in this world with such abilities, so let’s
not waste worrying because we are not like the others. Be glad of it. We can
paint only what we are. We must be what our experiences, our environment, and
out heredity have made us. Then, we must cultivate our own little garden. Just
be yourself.
2. Build good
working habits
Small things mean everything. Most of our attitude are responses
from our habits. Dale Carnegie gives four habits that will help prevent fatigue
and worry, they are - clear our desk of all papers except those relating to
problem, - do things in the order of their importance, - when you face a
problem then solve it, - and learn to
organize, deputize and worry.
3. Figure out what makes you tired
Joseph E. Barmack published a report of his experiments,
showing how boredom produces fatigue. From his experiments showed that the
blood pressure of the body and the consumption of oxygen actually decrease when
people are bored, and the whole metabolism picks up immediately as soon as they
begin to feel interest and pleasure in their work. Because of that our fatigue
is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration, and resentment. So,
figure out what makes you bored.
4. Count your
blessing not troubles
No matter how much troubles that we have, don’t worry we
have much more blessing than troubles. Stop worrying and start living. Just do
the very best you can.
To me that’s the important notes. Following Dale
Carnegie is an adventure in self-discovery and it could be a turning point in
our life. All we need now is the determination to uncover our self.
