If you’ve guessed it, then yes you are right. I have resigned from my services at Manhattan Associates and 13th of August will be my last working day here.
I have been with this company for 5 years and 2 months now…that’s a LONG time!
The recent blog post that I wrote about Job Hoppers, was inspired by my thoughts while I was re-evaluating my career at Manhattan Associates. After a good amount of thorough & deep thinking, I decided that my career now needed to progress in a different place.
It’s all about growth. It’s all about progress. You simply have to be very focussed on your growth and this should (and will) lead to increasing your personal productivity to very great heights. Boredom is one thing that can bring your productivity and growth down. Boredom affects your work and productivity very negatively and you should not allow yourself to remain in boredom for a long time. The worst part about it is, it’s amazing how slowly you start losing out on your capabilities as you go on working within this boredom zone.
You have to change and look for even bigger challenges. If you are capable of pushing yourself to climb Mount Everest…and instead of actually working towards that, if you keep yourself contented (and even worse, busy) with climbing small walls, where is the fun in that? What’s the sense of achievement in that? Pushing to your greater limits is what will enable you to overcome them and move further..and farther! It doesn’t matter what you are working on or which company you are working for…critical evaluation of your progress and growth is very very important. This is something that I am absolutely convinced about!
I simply LOVE this quote by Joshua J Marine:
Challenges are what makes life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful
I am currently busy handing off my work here to others so that I can move on to my next job. I’ll write more about it after my last working day here!
