Hotel And Life – It Is All About Temporary Possession
Working in a hotel helps me understand how temporary life is. We all make a big deal about our lives and pretend as if long term planning is very important. However, what we fail to understand is that long term planning is not even the time span of a second when you view it from the real perspective.
The hotel which I work in is situated close to numerous reputed art clubs. Hence, we often have group bookings from individuals and Associations interested in art. In such a scenario, the hotel is full of people for a short period of time before becoming empty again. The funny thing is that each and every person who occupies a room behaves as if it belongs to him or her. People are very particular about the facilities and amenities in the room. They feel that they deserve the best because they paid for it.
What they fail to understand is that the possession of the room is completely transitory. What belongs to them today belonged to somebody else in the past. When they move out, somebody else will walk in and occupy the room all over again.
This may sound a bit too philosophical for some but it certainly does help me manage the boredom and the fact that there is nothing stable or permanent in my job. Keep this in mind and you will probably find yourself behaving in a sympathetic manner to the hotel staff. After all, you are not the only guest they have to handle. You also find it easier to manage your life if you adopt such an approach.
