Struggle! Struggle! Struggle!
Does anyone of you doesn’t experience any struggle? Who can shout that “Hey, I am very happy, because I never experience any struggle in my entire existence in this world”. No one! Each of us has something with which we struggle.

I for instance, I struggle writing this. It’s very difficult to compose thoughts (he he he, because I’m not a writer). But the real struggle that I’m into is in my workplace.
When I started working here in Oman four years ago, I have encountered people in my workplace that wouldn’t even lift
a finger unless he or she knows that someone else has been given the same tasks. Over the years of working as a help desk coordinator in one of the colleges in Oman, I have met people whose behaviors are hesitant if I ask them to do something. They are not willing to do the work unless they know that someone will help them. Managing people that having that kind of behavior are very struggling.
Every day when I receive service calls and I have to assign it to someone or I need to send him to somewhere he won’t move unless he knows that nobody else is available to attend to the service requests. I tried asking somebody to attend to some service calls that have never been attended before but he refused because he knew that others were not doing the same thing.
Sad to say that there are people that lacks initiative to do things on their own and most of them will tell me that it’s not their job. Most of my colleagues are saying “I don’t need additional workload, what I am concern about is the salary I am getting.” And I realized that there are three kinds of people; (1) People that make things happen; (2) People that waits things to happen; (3) People that asked “What happened?”
