Don't teach me about Professionalism, my friend!!

Don't teach me about Professionalism, my friend!!

A Poem by Dr Sharmila Parajuli
"

Whether it's your first job or one you've had for a long time; it's always helpful to know what it takes to be professional in the workplace!

"
Darling, don't explain to me what professionalism is all about
I've lived it all my life just like a clear glass and true as the existence of god no doubt

Why not start with the very first thing which is punctuality!
Rarely, have I ever worked with someone with such a careless modality

Work-ethics and etiquette also includes that the senior colleagues need to be treated with at least some respect
Yes, I believe it's a 2-way street, but were you even close to it, you need to accept!

I totally agree that it takes time and practice to be fluent in competence and knowledge
And, I can take a whole day as I sit down and talk about your inappropriate conversation and body language

Have you ever followed the universal principles of honesty and integrity ?
Faking work and buttering the boss was all you did and that I can say in front of everyone with utmost clarity

Professionalism is entirely a frame of mind, not a paycheck
And, someone's entry in the "working group" shouldn't feel like a rope around your neck

And, one lesson I've learned from this entire facade is that 
No matter how much someone act loyal, when they have to overshadow you; they will definitely strike out!

Author's Note

Dr Sharmila Parajuli
Professionalism is a combination of traits, skills, behaviors and good judgement expected from an individual well-trained and well-adjusted to their career.
A company may completely disregard your knowledge and skills if you are unable to act professionally among colleagues
