The Ace of Spades

What is QUALITY? A certain dictionary defines quality as: high grade; superiority; excellence. If that's the meaning of quality, how can it be achieved? Why does every people expect quality in their products and even in their lives? If all of us seek for these quality living, why does only few people attain such way of life?

I used to work for an international bank. These said firm has a long tradition of quality and excellence with it. But it doesn't mean that people inside their offices experiences a happy professional life. Some of them sees themselves as a robot who executes the same processes in a day to day basis. They may be promoted but still they are stuck with their routine, like a hamster running on it's play wheel. They know they're bored but what can they do? Employment is very hard to find nowadays. They find themselves trapped. That is a problem.

I also have peers that have grown with me in our barangay. Most of them are undergraduate which makes proper employment hard for them. If I asked them if they are contented with the way they are living, they usually answer "what can I do? I didn't finished college. So I have to be contented with the way things are happening." Worst thing is that they even made themselves more binded in living a poor life because of an unplanned marriage. Unplanned in a sense that the girl got pregnant so they were forced to live together, with another baby suffering a fate worst than his/her parents have experienced. There is only few people in this situation that have achieved, let's say 60:1.

Whatever shit dumps into our lives, whatever trials and challenges meet us in our way, there is always a better way on doing things. A routinely job can be much enjoyable if you try to offer extra effort and take extra responsibilities for you to learn more and excel . It is really hard but if you think it is not really the stuff for you, go find what you think suit you most. There is always a better thing to do to have a better life. If you are unable to graduate, there is always an option to work while studying. If studying is a far option, try to do some extra jobs to have extra income. Again, there is always a better way to have a better life. The point is QUALITY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU CARE ENOUGH TO DO YOUR BEST. You have the freedom to choose. Nobody is liable in your own life but you.
