It was a great change in my work life as I got shifted from previous store to a new home store. At the start I stayed positive and was really excited for the change as I could get to meet new people at the new workplace and build great relationships with them. But like every Bollywood film story line, there was a twist. The adaptation to the new changes was not simple for me. I found everything totally different from what I was doing at my old store.
Along with that I happened to the worst performer for the first two days at the new store and I was called upon to discuss the issue why my performance was low. Even though I went prepared with a big list of changes I felt here in new store, I felt not explaining those to the manager as I strongly believe only a bad worker would blame his tools. Apart from that, I have seen throughout my life, me improving exponentially from initial bad starting stages. So, we end up the discussion by me promising him that I will try level best to happen these things again. I put my 100% in work and finished the work way too early than I was supposed to. My duty manager was happy and said that I have done a great job. So for the next few week I was using all my energy on to the work in making my name on to the list of top performers, which I think I have achieved in a few days.
This in turn affected my other daily routines and systems which I followed on daily basis as I stayed in bed until work time, anticipating and planning how to perform the best. So the question is do I regret cutting my old daily routine system. Well, at that point of time, it was highly required to stay concentrated and perform to put additional effort to score at work place, which I did and was appreciated. So, it made me happy and hence zero regrets. Also, it is important to understand the situation and not let it continue like this, i.e. get back to the system as soon as possible. Right now I am trying to get back to the system by putting the additional effort and stop being a waste man. Now, as I have the experience of breaking and re-joining the system, I believe I can use this experience in future for not breaking/getting back to the system if required.
Making mistakes is ok, but not learning from it is not ok. So, I wanna make more and more mistakes (but not continue doing the same mistake) in life. LOL.
