Different people have different opinions on work. For some it is a bread earner. For others it is a passion of their life. According to people, perspective on work varies. There are people who take work for granted, i.e. they don’t care much about the work, what they care is bucks they going to make. The other groups of people are those who have strong work ethics, i.e. they work hard and show strong intensive regardless of what they are paid.
The perspective on work can vary strongly among the age group. The older people tend to take work seriously and with strong work ethics. On the other hand, the younger generations take it lightly and have an attitude if laid off- there are other jobs. This may not hold true for all. There are exceptions and exceptions are there in everything.
I went to Paynesville to gather what perspective a sixty-year-old person has on work. After listening to Donald Skyrpeck talk about his perspective and experience on work, I said, “ half-hour drive was worth it.” Donald Skyrpeck is a sixty-year-old geography teacher at Paynesville secondary school. He has been teaching at the school since he was thirty. Thirty years at the same job and same place was a long way to go. When I asked about what made him stick so long on same job his answer was- children. He told that if he had changed jobs and places it would have caused break-ups in his children’s studies. I agreed with Mr. Donald. How my studies were affected when my parents had to move from one place to another, until they finally put me in a boarding school.

The other things that triggered me was if he had ever felt bored and monotonous doing same work for so long. His answer was –no. I was surprised. He further elaborated that teaching is fun, one seem to meet new faces every year, and that is what keeps one going. I was not satisfied and asked him – what about the same stuff you have to repeat every year? In response to my question he told me that as you meet new children, they bring up new questions, new perspective. It is always something new he told me. He further stated that as he is teaching he is learning too. Now, I was satisfied.
It was getting late and I wrapped up with last question. What was his opinion on work ethic and moral values? He told me that he has been treating kids as his children; he has been working hard so that the kids grasp the course better. I figured out that he had strong work ethics and performed his duty loyally. As I was about to leave, he gave me a piece of advice-“ if you want to be respected, have strong work ethics.”
That ended my conversation with Mr. Donald. I started to think about my perspective on work. The only job I had was a six months teaching further maths to a-level students. I was not as keen as Mr. Donald was on going to the classes. There were times when I felt if I did not have to go to class. However, the money I was receiving made me attend the class. I was paid per class. As Mr. Donald, I enjoyed meeting new faces. Though I felt like not going to class, I was sincere with students in the classroom. I tried my level best so that students understood better. I kind of enjoyed teaching, but I know for sure that I cannot stick to a job for thirty years like Mr. Donald.
Looking at Mr. Donald and my perspective on work, I concluded that the younger people though not sincere and dedicated as Mr. Donald they perform the duty sincerely, if they are encouraged and rewarded well. This is because older people have lived more, seen more life than we have. They are more experienced and know what it is to be laid-off. The sincerity in them comes from these things. The younger people have not seen life deeply like older people. They are inexperience and immature and take things lightly. Therefore, they appear as carefree to their work. How ever, I think this will improve as we grow up. We will act better as we see and experience more life.
