"I only care about the money"


One day my teeth ache all. Well, this is really bad news for me. Imagine, that day I have to provide training to the executives of a large company.


Speaking a day, providing inspiration, motivation, discussion, and answer their questions in a situation like this is truly a great challenge for me.


However, there are also benefits. I became more able to empathize with people who are sick tooth. I also had to understand why many people say that "a toothache could be more pain than the pain".


Because training is still going to take place the next day, then in the afternoon I rushed to the dentist was treated at a nearby hospital. The dentist I met worked quickly and did not speak much.

When I explained my situation he just stand by and from the look in his eyes as if he was saying, "Please do not you tell me anything I already know what happened. I've many years a dentist."


In just 15 minutes, the doctor finished with me. He patched the hole in my tooth with a permanent patch. "There was a lump there, doc," I said before leaving the doctor. "Tambalannya feels less flat, what if it is made flat," I said.


The doctor looked at me with no excitement. As he hurried as if it had immediately wanted to go home he said, "Come, I'll also be good yourself." I had to go home and pay the charge which was quite expensive.


However, the next day my pain even worse. If previously I only feel pain, now it hurts so bad, even when the upper teeth touch the lower teeth the doctor patched.


Even that day I could not eat. Though the training is still going on. However, I tried to keep the spirit as if everything was fine.


In the afternoon I returned to the same hospital, and because the doctor did not practice, I dealt with another doctor. One look at my teeth the doctor immediately realized the mistake made by his colleagues.


"These patches are too high, so it must have felt hurt," he said. He was immediately flatten the patch. However, it was not just that the mistakes made the first doctor.


According to a second doctor, my teeth are having problems with its roots, so that should be done but do not patch it nerve treatment. Tooth patch is much less with permanent patches instead will only memperunyam problem. Because in this hospital every doctor has their own specialty so I asked for treatment to a specialist in the conservation of teeth.


A few days later I met the doctor in question. This doctor was young, enthusiastic and spoke with a fast tempo, but it seems he does not like to listen to others.


When I first explain the problems I had, she suddenly interrupted me and said, "Come on, I already know what happened to you. If you want to heal then you should follow my words."


I paused for a moment. When he mentioned how much cost should I pay for my dental nerve treatment is no longer concentrating on the conversation.


Frankly I feel uncomfortable, not only because the doctor did not want to listen and immediately cut my words, but also because he called me with the title you.


When he spoke to me in English, of course, you are way to greet someone who is reasonable, but because he talks in the Indonesian language the word you were not right in my ear. Would not it be more appropriate when we greet someone with your call?


Dear reader, the above illustration I told you to describe about how hard we serve others.


When providing training in one of the largest plantation companies in Indonesia some time ago, I got a lot of questions from participants about this. "How can I serve others? Not in my work in the garden or in the factory I interact with objects and not humans?"


This is of course an interesting question. My friends who work in factories, plantations, mining and so on must have felt that the day-to-day jobs they are not related to the human body.


This is of course different from those who worked in the banking, insurance, financial sector, telecommunications, sales, entertainment, hospitality, and hospitals. However, what is my friends who work with it does not serve the people? Is there a job that does not serve man?


This is the question that we need to ponder deeply. Is not no jobs in this world that are not related to humans? Is not it just work there when he needed by humans? Because it is not if he does not serve the people so he can not be called as a proper job?


Therefore we should not only see limited aspects of physical work. Physical aspects are only visible, but not the nature of our work is how we can serve and meet the needs of people who use the products we produce?


Even more interesting, even though a physical work directly related to other people, it does not guarantee the perpetrator could see the work as an effort to serve others.


Many people who do not care about the needs of others even if that person was in front of him. For them the important thing is get the job done as soon as possible and make money. My dentist is just one of many examples.
