I am a big
picture thinker. (Sometimes)
Recently at
work I’ve been assigned to come up with a service project for my coworkers and
me to do. Our company is all about
service so it’s kind of expected of us to perform some kind of charitable service
to the community.
Here is my
problem: I have enough trouble trying to get all my coworkers to show up for
their shifts. An unpaid service project isn’t going to happen without some kind
of serious rewards for them. Not to
mention that sometimes just throwing a whole bunch of unmotivated people at a
roadside clean up project isn’t going to get anything done.
That’s why we’re
going to do something bigger. We’re going to partner with a charity that helps
kids who are really sick. I’ll keep you updated as much as I can, because I don’t
want this project to be a one day or one time thing. I think that my shop and my coworkers really have what it takes to make
a bigger difference in the world.
As nice as
serving at a soup kitchen or cleaning up litter might be, sometimes you need to
take the bigger picture into account and do something that will make the
biggest impact in the end.
Challenge to
my Readers:
The next time
you have a service requirement for work or for school, consider doing something
long lasting instead of whatever will get you the most hours in the shortest
commitment. Demonstrate some forward thinking by really striving to do
something good.
