Job Hunting Technique : The Quest (to find people who love what they do, and want to teach)

Thoreau

"The Mass Of Men Lead Lives Of Quiet Desperation."

One-Third Of A Person's Life Is Spent Working

The vast majority of people work to pay their bills.
Spending 1/3rd of their life in that state of mind is nothing but unhealthy.

Quote

"In A World Constantly Moving Towards Something Better, Tolerate What Is, But Keep Focused On What Should Be."

What Should Be : The Way "Work" Ought To Be

Life is short.
Work should be a never-ending learning experience.
The time for work should be the time to learn.
The time for play, should be the time to rest and recuperate.
The time for work should never be, should never have been, the time to waste life away.

The Quest

The Quest is an appropriate word to describe the odyssey of looking for people and places of work where there is genuine love for the work and a teaching philosophy running through the work atmosphere.

Steve Jobs : "Don't Settle"

"the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle." - Steve Jobs

The Quest : Sidetracked

Sometimes you get sidetracked, but always keep the goal in mind of finding that place which is worthwhile to work in.

Supply And Demand Changes The World

The "work" world will change when we human beings are actively telling each other, "We will only work in work environments where there is 'joy' in the work, and a philosophy of teaching."

Fortune 500 companies will realize that to keep and attract people, their places of work must be places of teaching.
Smaller companies will see the same.

Your Human Right

Every human being is limitless, gifted with a remarkable intellect, and an agile, dexterous body.

When you are "working" it should be work which is tapping your potential...it MUST be work which is tapping your potential.

...it's a shame this right must be asserted, but humanity still has not moved beyond the limited vision of power and dominance and pecking order.
That is why it is vitally important for everyone to constantly be telling each other what they want out of humanity and the human experience.

What Do "You" Want?

Constantly Be Telling Your Fellow Human Beings, And Yourself, What Do You Want Out Of The Human Experience.

For Employers : The Fair Exchange

1. An employee works hard and the fair exchange is being taught everything they want to learn.
2. An employee who works hard and has a desire to learn is taught everything they want to learn, as fast as they want to learn it.
3. ...sadly many employers at this point will indicate that this will result in employees not being able to do their original duties well. To these employers of limited vision I say that : a) You need to believe in your people more. b) Employees who want to learn have a good attitude, which extends to performing their original duties well. A desire to learn is a guarantee of a person who wants to do well, and this naturally includes ALL their duties.
4. Eventually the employee will have learned all they can out of the job and be ready to move on. If the employee is quick, this might mean a very short amount of time. The employer might be concerned they invested time and gotten very little productivity. This is easily addressed.
5. The Employee's Honor : Employers who believe in their employees and teach them everything they want, as fast as they want it, gain their employee's respect and honor. The employee makes a commitment then to stay with their Employer, performing all their duties, until the Employer finds someone to take over their duties. Further, the employee pays it forward and personally helps to train their replacement with the same attention and faith they were trained in.
   
6. This is The Fair Exchange between Employers and Employees.

Current Work Place Philosophy : "You've Gotta Pay Your Dues"

• "Somebody's gotta be the whipping boy."
• "You have to start at the bottom and work your way up."
• "The new guy gets the coffee."
• "The new person gets stuck with all the menial work. Everyone else had to do it. A sick system needs to be continued."
  

Disgraceful...

• Why does anyone have to be the new bitch?
• When every human being has limitless potential, what kind of juvenile sickness is it to place any noble human being on the bottom of any ladder.
• If any human being is welcomed openly and warmly, taught freely without constraints, than there is no limit to what any human being can do.
  

We were meant to live for so much more...

• Every human being should take this to heart : don't settle.
• Anywhere you work, with anyone, Don't Settle, for anything less than a place where you are treated with dignity and respect, and taught as much as you want, as quickly as you want.
  
• Naturally, you work very hard, are friendly and warm, and radiate happiness. That's natural.
• When You Are Happy At Work, You Act Happy At Work. Simple.
• ...humanity just needs a new paradigm shift.
  

How I Approach "Work"

• My MO (Modus Operandai) is to teach everything I know, to everyone, as fast as they want to learn it.
• We are still a competition-based society, which has no qualms with leaving people to rot in empty, unfulfilling jobs, because they can't find the way to fit into this neurotic, Capitalist world.
• My philosophy is that everything I know how to do, I teach. Because everyone deserves to have a good life, just as I do, and in a non-Star Trek society of aggressive competition, and complete willingness to abandon people to despair and misery, it is essential that people be taught the skills they need to "make it".
• I teach gladly. I teach openly. I teach welcomely. Teaching is a human joy. It is perverted and twisted by a competition-based, Capitalist philosophy. Capitalists believe people are naturally selfish and greedy and self-serving. I believe the opposite. That is why I act the way I do.
• ...as for me. It's about time I seek out people with my philosophy. I'm tired of draining my energies with work where the philosophy is not one of teaching and sharing. no more feeding daisies to stones.
