We are who considered the world as a space that slowly unfolded before us and made us feel that we could reach every corner of it while we were young. And we are who one day found ourselves in the early morning with a laptop bag that slumps over our shoulders, hoping for heavy traffic to clear.
We are who cut their long hair on the way to the job interview (and then on the way to the job we were hired for); those who take their piercings of until the weekend (or forever); those who do not have menstrual leave; those who are not aware that they can have menstrual leave; those who avoid menstrual leave for some reason.
We are who were instructed not to turn off their phones just before their first leave after a long time; those who will not be able to turn off their phones even though they are not instructed not to turn off their phones just before their first leave after a long time; those who can adjust the tone of their voice very well when talking to customers calling from abroad in the middle of the night; those who go to work even though they are sick.
We are who secretly think that the team cannot make it without us; those who try to make the team unable to make it without us so that they need us; those who always seem to be the busiest person on earth; those who do not realize that multi-tasking is not good management, but always using the engine on the red line; those diagnosed with high blood pressure in their thirties; those who are anxious, panicky, passive-aggressive.
We are who consume themselves and find relief in Osho's motto, "The slave needs the master, the master also needs the slave,” in their personal development training; those who become too ordinary when they think that real leaders come from outsiders.
The motto “know thyself” has been in circulation for ages. Are we who feel the need to think about it?
