Work hard, play smart

I landed my first job right after college. It’s not a fancy job nor a high paying one, but i learned a great deal from the company. My boss, Richard, is a very nice fella. Apart from work, he makes sure all of us enjoy ourselves too. He organizes a lot of events like outings and also encourages us to play sports together. According to him, work doesnt mean completing tasks and hitting sales target all the time. Fun and play is a great way to bond with our colleges.
He knows that we do have our personal commitments to our own family and friends. Though it may be a company outing or sporting event, he doesnt mind us bringing them along with us. In fact, he says it’s more enjoyable that way. I was quite shy when i first joined the company. And my boss was so right when he says we do bond and understand each other better through play and socializing. He buys lots of team sports equipments and sometimes, we have friendly matches with other companies too. We go to the beach almost each fortnight.
I’ve made a lot of friends that way alone. I left the company after three years as i got a better offer from another company. But, the lessons that i’ve learned from Richard will stay with me forever. I’ve not met him since the day i left his company. But each time i pass by a field and see people having fun there, it brings back so much memories. If you run your own company, do buy some teams sports equipments like volleyball or frisbee and organize some event for your staff. These two happens to be my favorite sports. Best played at the beach ![]()
