轉念事業, 解脫作業、職業、專業困惑 (第一部份)

引言
-多數香港人談話中問 : "係邊處揾食(撈、發財)", "你做邊行", .... 西人卻問: "Where do you work?( 工作)" , "what is your business? (業務) "; 少人問: "What is your career? (事業)"
-你怎樣介紹給別人自己的工作生涯(work life)? 會連結過去、現在、將來嗎?為什麽 ?
-怎樣去介紹, 反映你怎樣看工作、事業, 怎至你怎樣看生命的意義、價值觀、神學!
-不同的人有不同的思維, 從短視到遠見
-管理學在這領域可以貢獻不少

(1) 作業
-工作 (動詞) (job, activity): 打字、寫作、賣產品、劃畫、修理、... 監察、聯絡等
-工作 (名詞) (task, project) : 工程、 項目、程序 、 事件 、等
-Q: 是否天天每小時都是實踐這動詞? 這動詞還會適合幾多年? 
-Q: 這名詞會跟着你多久? 完成了又如何?

(2) 職業 (work nature)
-功能性 (function, process) : 創新、策劃、市場推廣、生產 、會計、評估等 
-角色性 (role, post): 組長、演員、輔導員、協調員、管家、主管、CEO、公務員等
-Q: 是否天天每小時都是執行這功能? 這功能還會適合幾多年? ...
-Q: 會否覺得這些角色用詞有些含糊? 好像欠缺了一些東西?

(3) 專業 

-(xx師/牌) (profession) : 工程師、 醫生/師、會計師、教師、牧師等
-行業、界別 (industry, sector): 是xx行/界(如建築、娛樂), 做xx(如製衣、飲食)、...政府
-Q: "一次做x師, 一生做x師?" 你接受這個說法嗎? 或是想: "只是無得揀!"
-Q: 是一世在某一行/界賣命嗎? 你真的與它的關係這麽深嗎?

-一些名詞有連結性: 難分類, 難定資格和級別 e.g. 管理 (1, 2, 3), IT (1, 2, 3)
-一些名詞會帶來不同反應: e.g. 玩音樂、攪創作、經理、自由人、家庭管家、牧者

反思、討論 (to be continued)
