I have noticed a strange thing that whenever we are doing any boring work, task, we knowingly as we have no other option but to do it, sometimes gives a surprise success or whichever we have never expected to happen. This sort of magic i have experienced. How about you.

Everyone is working hard to get success, but our success is based on our luck. Some times we really do our work with full efforts and dedication, but we may fail in our work based on our bad luck. On the other hand some times we will do some repeated work without our willingness due to the situation, this kind of boring work may give success to us and we will surprised with the unexpected success. Most of the time we will get success if we do our work properly and give our full focus and interest in our work, but some times our luck will play a good role and give an unexpected success to us. This kind of surprises will give a lot of enjoyment and excitement to us, as most of us are working hard to get success. This kind of incidents clearly shows that luck is also a factor which determines our success. I faced some incidents in this sort. Recently i lost one of my regular client in my business and very much worried with it, few days later one of my old client called me and provide a big order, i am surprised with it and do my work properly and give my best service to him. As a result i got a good income for that project. Really it is a great unexpected success for me. Sometimes we will be bored by doing the same work again and again, but we must realize that doing the same thing again and again will increase our experience and make us to become an expert with the job and give this kind of success without our expectation. This kind of activities will happen in our life based on our luck.

Yes, and even in repetitions in our regular job, we do have something new to learn, if we observe things closely. For e.g- You might know about a marketing topic, yet you may find that certain theoretical principle, that you applied in practice did not work as expected. Or a software features works perfectly otherwise, but under special circumstances, it gives a severe error.

Yes I have those experience,sometimes I think that surprise come out very suddenly but actually after thinking about that for a while we can figure out that this is we earn it,everything need to be accumulated and step by step,when it happens,it happens,what we need is keep moving and be patient.

I was taught that any job you have to do is worth doing well. So I learned early in my life to take the most boring job and make a contest with myself. By breaking it down to very small jobs I can always find one part that needs improvement on my part. Blessings

Where is the success in a boring job? Since it is described as boring, my idea of it is a work with no challenges, fairly easy, no chance for development of new skills or improvement, repetitive and uninteresting. I can't see success with such indicators. I am really confused on what you are feeling.

He roshigo, I am sure your post have a lot ot merit for a lot of people...I fortunately have to say that all the jobs I've ever had may not have made me so successful in the mind of others.. But the mere fact of having a job and being able to support mu family made me successful..That was the magic for me.. I have never had a job I would call boring,,,thank God for that..and being it was my job I was committed to it and along with that came the success and doing my job the best I could,,,

lucky you. never experienced any sort of such thing at work. In fact we refused to believe there would be any sort of magic or magic wand which would reduce the work volumes. Lots of hard work, no appreciation but good way.

Believe it or not, doing the same "boring" thing can allow you to experience excitement. I have had boring jobs and found somethings that I had to be on my toes to notice. I had been working at the same thing for so long and doing it so well that I noticed when there was a glitch. A glitch can present a big problem it not caught soon or it can be harmless. Either way, having the presence of mind to see problems and quickly work on solutions can be exciting. Don't you think?

Sometimes, we hear the term "Interesting job". However, it is very rare that we would have a task of set of tasks which would interest us too much. We do have to learn to be satisfied with so called "boringness" in our jobs. May be the key is to think how best we can provide service to others, or do a good work. This way, may be, it is not as boring. And yes, success does accompanies hard work and diligence.
