How dedicated are you when it comes to work?

As a husband. What kind of loyalty can you expect from a women who does that ON YOUR WEDDING DAY...??? It clearly shows how high you and you marriage are on her priority list. Simply put. Personally i want to be my wifes priority from the moment we fall in love, until the end, just as she will be mine. Not when we retire at the age of 250. The way things are going, that is the age people will be plausible for retirement very soon...lol

As of right now I have two pretty crappy restaurant jobs so I'm not incredibly dedicated to my work but I still need to make as much money as possible so I can save up money for going to college. Right now I am putting work in front of a lot of other things that I'd like to be doing with my free time but I only have to do it for four more months and then I'll be able to move and start my bachelor's degree. The job that I'm trying to get through education though I will be very dedicated to. I'm trying to become a naturopathic doctor and I want to be able to own my own farm where I can grow produce and share it with the world. I hope to be able to turn the whole thing into a non-profit organization type thing or a charity. I want to be able to heal and nourish as many people as possible so I will be dedicating a lot of time to this project the more and more I get closer to achieving it. Even though I'll be extremely dedicated to it I'll still find time for me and I definitely will be able to put enough time aside to get married without worrying about work.

good day to you, i guess, different people have different approach on how they deal with their work and duties. as for me here, whenever i am doing my job or any task, i always see to it that i am doing it to the best of my ability. as i am imagining that i am serving God our Father as my boss. as i am doing my task as if it is my last day in this world we live in.

I agree with what you are saying. It is important that people think about others time as well. After all when we are planning a wedding there are other people who adjust their schedule so that they can attend. Some even travel a distance to get to the location. So it would also be rude to cancel a wedding at the last minute. And what does this show her soon to be husband? Work will more than likely create more problems for them during the marriage.

I agree with you, we must be dedicated to our work. We must give importance to our special events too. Wedding is a great turning point in every one's life and important day to cherish. I appreciate the sincerity of the reporter, but this kind of sincerity is not good. She must give importance to her wedding day.

Saw the photo in newspaper too. Sometimes it depends on the nature of the job. The reporter is probably based in that area, TV stations or newspaper do not hire many reporters at one place. So she is probably the only one doing all the reporting in that area. Many of us are in the same situation. I am one of the many, no one does my job in my entire company. I often have to work outside the office even when I'm on leave. Lucky for me,it is possible to do that with internet. It is not too difficult, I just need to plan if I want to take some days off. As long as work gets done, others are informed of what to do when things are really urgent and I am contactable by mobile phone, it is usually OK.

Not to put her down, but why bother at a wedding to a human being if you are the kind of person who puts a career above everyone and everything else. I respect that it was her choice to make, but maybe she should rethink the whole marriage thing or become a wife to her job instead.

I guess we all are, unless we don't like our work. Our job is our main source of income, so we have to love and be dedicated in doing it. What this Chinese reporter have done is really admirable, maybe because of her dedication to her job. But I think, she should have taken a leave since it's her wedding day. I know what she did is her natural instinct as a reporter, being in the right place and time but she should have take her day off even for a day, I think.

I can honestly say that I always work my butt off whenever I have a job to work on. I make sure that i give my 101%. There are instances that I have failed to go to weddings or birthday parties of relatives because I would not just leave my work. I would rather let my brother in law attend all the events. But if it were events regarding my kids, I make sure that I am always present.

I'm with you on this. I love my job, but there are times that I need more "me" time. You know, I often ignore my boss' call just because I think it's my resting time. He's a workaholic, but I'm not. So I thought I just did the right thing.

Interesting news! This is the first time I know something like this happen. Well, in some case, you may need to put priority for your job over your private life. But like I said, it’s depended on the case. But I don’t understand in the case of this reporter. Why don’t someone take charge of her duty for this current event? I mean, even the company should understand that this is her special day, so they can put someone else in charge instead.

I can't say that i am dedicated to my work as much as i can do my work better and no one gives a negative feedback about it. Some people are really dedicated on their work there are times that they put all their time to work just to achieve their goals in life, they love their work as much as their selves. they afraid of to loose their job because if there's no work no source of income. thank you ayeeesha!

In general I don't think you should put a job above important life events and family obligations. However in this case i can understand her actions. She is a reporter and she has just witnessed a major catastrophe that the public would appreciate knowing about. Now, if her husband-to-be has a problem with her dedication in this case, then she should reconsider her priorities and how she will handle situations concerning her job and her relationship in the future.

Yeah, her dedication to her job deserves an applause. But I guess, there should be someone else to replace her work on that auspicious day . I may be very dedicated to my work but in certain cases I may still weighing the situations and value it accordigly to its priority.

I probably miss that news from yahoo, but she definitely deserves a round of applause whoever reading it. Anyway, I like to dedicate myself to my work, but my current work isn't what I love the most. So, even on a urgent case, if I am in my wedding, I definitely can't leave my wife stand there and wait for me to come back. I would put that work on hold, after I finish my duty as a husband to my future wife.

I am so dedicated with my job... but, I just couldn't turn my back to a previous commitment. If so happened that the earthquake hit first and my bf suddenly ask me to marry him, I think I will tell him, wait, I need to cover this first... because this is first. Or if I have a date with a friend and suddenly the earthquake hit, and I need to cover, sorry but I have a previous commitment. Note: the scenario above is just hypothetical... 1. my bf won't ask me to marry him, 2. I am not a reporter 3. I am terrified with earthquake. LOL

I work here online, and I am dedicated to my work here online, I make sure I spend the whole day here to make sure, my work get done because, I want to make my money, I can see the dedication on the reporter, she had a job to do and she wanted to do it, even thou it was here wedding day, her wedding didn't happen so she though going to work to cover the earthquake store, was what she needed to do.

Hi Ayeeesha! Yeah I saw that, too! She's unbelievable! That itself is history. She's in the right place, at the right time even though not much of in the right attire but definitely the right moment. I've always dreamt of being a broadcaster, even tried working in radio stations for two years. And reporting is definitely a serious business. It's not just a job but a sworn responsibility. Every moment for a news happening is precious to a reporter. The main responsibility is to bring the news to people to warn them, to make them aware, to inform. So if I'm in her shoes, I would also excuse myself for a moment because as they say "duty calls". There's some things we can sacrifice for the sake of our job. Sometimes it's fruitful, sometimes it's hurtful. We just have to be much smarter on the level of our dedication and much knowing on the worth of our job to us. Thanks for the discussion ;)

Very dedicated, since starting university I’we tended to put university work first and since then, research first – I would rarely cancel work for other things if I can help it and tend to put help it and tend to put help it and tend to put help it and tend to put it high on my priorities.This is becasue I’m being funded to do it and part of doing a PhD is engrossing yourself in the subject and the work – even if it means missing a party or two!

My priorities are arranged like this... 1.God 2. Family 3. Career And I think her wedding day falls on the second one so I would not go if i were her. I would not put my work above everything especially if it concerns my family or even my family to be. Her dedication to her work is great but how dedicated is she to her husband-to-be and to their vows that they were about to promise before she ran away for her job?
