When You Are High On Work

The next morning I went with him to market visit, I continued visiting customers with the sales officers for the whole of next week. It was a Friday evening and it was already 6 and the time to leave was getting near, so I went to his cabin to discuss my insights for the whole week. When we looked at the time it was ten minutes past eight, and we laughed at how we were sitting there for the last two hours. On my way home, I was thinking about the things we discussed and was super excited and I was proud of myself. That was the ‘high’ moment for me. Now that I look back, it wasn’t the first time I was having a ‘work high’ moment but it was certainly the first one after coming here. It was a different day when the second moment took place. I was sitting in my room thinking about the discussions I had with my unit head that evening and then one thing led to another and I had an idea about what to do. I penned down my idea and slept. I discussed it with my unit head the next morning and he was also confident like me, “it should work and in fact, I’m sure it will work” he said. Then he asked me, “what do you think, will it work or not?” I told him “Yes it will work, it has to work.”

One unique thing I observed about getting this ‘high’ while working is its behavior; it will come to you when you are least expecting them when you think that you should give up and you are about to give up, and if you decide to continue for one last step from there, you will find your ‘high’ for work moment.
