I used to think those who refuses to put in much hardwork during
their NSF period are the ones who'll have much to loose. With such
attitude in life, they can hardly survive in the real world.
Or so I thought.
Recently, it seems to become more apparent to me
that those who are more hardworking and willing to put in
more effort in the things they do are actually the ones who are
more stupid.
Take for example, in order for the battalion or the company to
do well, key appointments and responsibility are inevitably
given to those who are more willing to work and deemed as more
capable. Meanwhile, those slackers will just be tasked to help out
the others (which they'll still try to siam as much as
possible), being free of much responsibilities.
Whenever something goes wrong, these appointment holders will
naturally be blamed for it, since they are the ones who is taking
up the responsibilities. This is despite all the hardwork they've
put in their job. Meanwhile, those slackers need not
accept any blame since they have not done nothing, since they've
done nothing in the first place!
What's worse is that at the end of the day, everyone will still
ORD as Coporals together and receive the same pay throughout. No
extra rewards for those who gave in more, nothing taken from those
who try to siam as much work as possible.
I know, as soldiers, we should be contributing without
expectations of rewards in the first place. But to 'punish' those
who are willing to work by giving them heavier responsibilities and
more work while 'rewarding' the lazy by tasking them with easier
works...something is wrong here isn't it?
20-years-old NSFs aren't saint. How would you feel if you've
been doing so much thing in one day only to realise someone else
had been enjoying a much slacker day? How would you feel if you've
been doing so much things and yet still blamed for some mistakes,
while the one who've been doing nothing gets to escape it all?
To take things in one's stride...surely there's a limit to it?
How much longer can I go on like that?
Perhaps I'm just being bias thinking that those slackers are
actually...well, as slack as I thought. Perhaps I'm just
exegerating the situation. I don't know. But what I do know is that
I've come to find it so stupid to do so much anymore.
Hello! You have to accept the fact that those slackers do have
their strengths as well. Try to understand how they think and
'adopt' some of their attitudes , you will have an
easier life.
