Life Travelator

Our legal dept has hired a master degree holder. This lady is in late 30s. According to legal, she wrote two books before. It seems like she has some kind of achievements in her younger days.

However, during first day of work, she has problem using pc and the mouse. She said she hasn't been working for a year. These days it's an essential for any working people able to use Microsoft office application. The manager gave her the benefit of doubt. When Gurmit went for one day MC, she felt so lost and helpless. After 4 days, she quit her job saying that she's not suitable for this job.

"Our life is like we are walking on a travelator which moves backwards, if you don't keep walking, you will start moving backwards" - Quoted by Gurmit

Great analysing... What he says is true. It does not matter how high our education level is as long as we STOP upgrading ourselves, we will be start going BACKWARD and before we know it, we will be moving further and further away from the society and eventually we might be out of job.

That's the reality of working society. Solution is either we buckup or never stepped back into working society.

'Cause Time waits for no man.
