More things from my jumbled mind.

A friend of mine have always said and believed that things happen for a reason; that everything she does means something to someone. Looking back to where I've left my footprints, I wonder what my purpose is. I've made a lot of friends the past decade, some I still talk to on a daily basis, some I've lost touch with(sadly), some, when I see them again, pick up where we left off. I've met people from all walks of life, from a lot of different countries, and the things I find out about people still have yet cease to amaze me. Where do I figure in this? I'm not sure. But it seems like I'm destined to meet new and interesting people all the time, doing what I do. It's funny, some of the people you run into. There are some who really thinks they are entitled to everything in the world, that they actually think they are better than anyone else. I would like to think that I am a humble person, so I am not so sure how to think like that. Maybe someone can shed a light on that. There are also the kind of people, who is just happy to have the basic needs. Go back to a hotel room, clean up, have dinner, and call it a night. Or those who go to a hotel just for sleeping, out the whole day, back at 2am, wake up at 9am and gone again. I think the best kinds of guests are the ones who appreciate the room, and the hotel because they don't get the luxury to travel often or at all. The ones who appreciate all the little things you do for them, and when they give you that genuine smile of happiness, that's all you need to see from them to make your day. Hospitality might not be most glamorous career, nor the ones that makes you most money, but it is what makes me happy, what makes me want to get up in the morning to go to work. Yes, I do complain about working too much(I am human afterall), but at the end of the day, I still come home with a smile, still thinking about how I can improve at work or in life in general. How do I take my motivation in my professional life, and apply that to my personal life? I feel like I am shy outside of work, at work, it doesn't take much for me to want to talk to a complete stranger. Put me in real life, and I would probably stutter. I guess that's one step of growing up, application.
