The most simple value..

Simplicity.. the most basic word i can find in living life. Whatever happens, keep things simple. Work means work, play means play.. even in relationships.. i know its damm hard sometimes to keep it simple, some idiots just like to keep it complicated, i have no idea why.. maybe they got too much time on their life, or they just are damm idiots. Take for example, a machine, with so many little and tiny parts.. if 1 fail, all fail. as simple as that. Always choose the most straightforward and simple way, though it may be sometimes the most trecherous and difficult path..

Service.. whats service? in my terms, attending fully to the needs of another fellow human. Whats good service then? simple.. its just being more attentive, alert and using your heart in doing what you think is right. Strange but true, the other party, or customer, will feel your sincerity towards them, even if how fark up they can be.. Of course, its not 100percent foolproof, some dudes are just F up.. period. You feel like going to the kitchen and get the biggest and longest sharpest knife and give them a facelift, and giving a very painful and slow death.. but well, shit happens, and good times will come to. Providing service, for what i learnt from my experience in service line.. is so simple yet so hard to achieve. Lets give a example.. a family of 5, 2 parents, 3 kids. How many persons do we need to cater to? 5, do not forget the children. In many cases, if you give special care and attention to the kids, you will get admiration and thanks from the parents, as meaning you are paying attention even to their children, and thats great. In some instances, giving good service is almost impossible when you need to run here and there, clear plates, take orders, send orders, send drinks, get the bill. Sometimes i think its insane, but hey.. i guess its life. Its insane. Whenever you use your heart and soul to do something, you can achieve.

and seriously, serving people in working in service line change people.. it make you more humble, wise and more understanding.. also that, it trains on your alertness, gives you more tolerance and endurance to shit, and i mean shit, and lastly, it makes a person see the world. You see all kind of people, and every individual is special. If you can provide service fully to any one, with all your heart, then peharps you have achieved something.

Peharps call me crazy.. but i dont mind walking, running, be on my feet for 11 hours non stop, or even 16, i admit its tiring both on the body and mind, but when you see a happy customer saying goodbye, its the sense of achievement and accomplishment that makes you go on.. One reason i hate taking breaks is that it slows the mind and body.. it makes you tired and unfocused.. So thats why i always take my break at the very end of my 8 hour shift.. even if i am starving for the 8 hours, its better than eating and i cant work after that..


Lastly, Whatever you do, or meet people, give the respect and dignity and in turn you shall receive.. Never look down on anyone, or being racist. Respect, is a word all of us want. Whereever we are or at, no matter how bad a situation can be, sympathise and understand from the other party's view, and give them all the respect they need, and you will be surprise things work out;)


Respect, dignity, pride, honor, the values you lived day by day,being wise, is worth more than fame, fortune and being popular in life..
