Helping others

What job would you do for free?

Any job that makes somebody else life better, then I can do it without asking for any money

I have ever done some work for colleagues lest they get a reprimand letter because they were absent for job. Everybody else was condemning them for neglecting their job but I later discovered that they had a sick child and unsupportive spouse. Even today, I feel happy that I was able to help them.

All things we do in life is useless without other people around. Trees don’t eat their fruits nor rivers drink their own water. A barber don’t shave their heads and will need somebody else to shave them.

Nothing exciting like when somebody else is happy because you are there for them. Am a software developer but my skills, competence and excellence is of no use if I have no client to build something for.

As much as we work very hard to produce high quality products, houses we build, clothes we make, cars, mobile phones and everything else we produce in industries , we do it targeting people that consumes them. So everything that involves coming closer to people, creating joy and happiness and bringing justice to people, that one I will do without money..imagine all the money in the world in your house with yourself alone in the world, will it be enjoyable?

Our souls are made better when we make others happy and comfortable. And if we be rich, mostly it is because we found people that liked what we are selling.

However, some people that asks us to volunteer to work in their industries, just takes advantage of our desperation to exploit our labour. So job done for free to gain favor with an employer is a mere exploitation and should never be considered as a passion by the one offering their surface for free.
