Many people in today’s world end up doing something that they dislike, which is bad. One of these people is my dad. My dad did not have an easy childhood, for example, “I had to do many detestable chores with little rest.” I think that throughout adulthood he has been doing a job that he does not enjoy.
My dad holds a manager/supervisor position at his work and often times when he comes home he is stressed out. There are many negative factors that are accompanied with a job that you do not want to do. Some factors include stress, sleep problems, or even insecurities with authority. I know that my dad suffers from these problems through work but interviewing him is the way I got to learn what makes this behavior come about.
The stress that my dad comes in contact with through his job is remarkable. He has to make many “Expensive and hard thought-out substantial decisions” that “I make to further better the company and its coterie businesses.” It is a known scientific fact that with stress you are more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, and sleep problems. I know that with the jarring stress my father gets daily he has picked up smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic beverages to help with the stress. Although, I know that it is just deteriorating his body and his mind. The good thing is that he controls his drinking and smoking; it is still a bad habit, but at least the habit does not control him. The worst part to a person that drinks and smokes is that they smell like it. When I see my dad at around six or seven at night he has a smell on him most times of cigarettes and alcohol; this is usually a foul smell.
The stress that my dad goes through is unique to his job and on the many days that he does not feel like going t...

... To me it is my job as his child to comfort and care for him. There is always a time at night when he tells me or asks me to do something. I dislike it at the time, but, I know better than to talk back to my dad in a disrespectful manner because, in the end, he will always be my dad; which means he will get the last word in.
In conclusion, my dad has many problematic factors that he obtains from a job that he is not that interested in doing. These factors include stress, sleep problems, and insecurity with authority. These problems affect my father’s life daily, because he is in a job that is stressful and he does not seem to be interested in. This is why everyone should be the person they want to be and not what they can easily be. Uniqueness is a human trait that we all have we just need to express it more. This is why we should all, in the end, follow our dreams.
The most pressing one is obviously work related stress (Matteson & Ivancevich, 1987). The pressure of managing more and more people has made David more prone to anxiety and his sleeping issues. Another risk factor is his large blended family. David has to provide for all five kids and his wife at least to a certain extent. Further, there are certain family dynamics that are more challenging to David’s family than to a non-blended family. For example, having to deal with his ex-wife and having two stepchildren that have severe learning disabilities. Factors that may worsen David’s life condition include his sleep, back aches, and drinking habits. The less sleep he gets, the more of a challenge it is going to be to balance his work and family. Further, his drinking has potential to turn into an issue as he is doing it everyday in order for him to go to sleep. Information that would be useful to determine other risk factors include whether or not he pays alimony, his yearly salary, and his family health
Back in the day when I was very little, I remember that my dad used to take care of me. He would never let me run around the house when glass could off break and hurt me. As I kept growing up my father started to give more freedom but also gave me more responsibilities; like he wanted me to do the chores of the house, not all of them but some. I knew they were not mine to do but I still help. When I went off to college and I had to do all by myself, I realize that my father did good on making me do my laundry, chores and etc., when I was young. Besides I knew that I had to do my chores for me to go out with friends. Although I had this kind of responsibilities at a young age I can say that it helped in life. But because some parents overprotective their children and they are not exposing to real life, children might not know how to function in society when their parents die.
Factors contributing to the increased job stress include: increased workload, many interruptions, role overload, and limited breaks. Being interrupted, dealing with “difficult” patients, and having more work to do with not enough time to complete it are some of the key contributors to elevated stress during the work day. In Munger, almost 70% of pharmacists stated that they do not have the time to take breaks during the day, which may be a key
What is the division of responsibilities like in your home? Do you let Daddy do it his way?
My dad and I have a relationship very similar to his one. One of the reasons is because my grandpa was abusive toward my dad both physically and emotionally. So from this my dad was not sure how to have a father/son relationship. My
We all have our own dreams and ambitions, but in order to follow them we must leave the comfort zone of our regular lives. This often leads to guilt and self-anguish of your loved ones, whether they may be friends or family. In the picture taken by Tamas Dezso, a young man is driving off into the daybreak but he is looking back to what he is leaving with a concerned look on his face. Similar to the young man in the photo, much of society has at one point been concerned with what they’re leaving behind in order to follow their dreams and ambitions.
Stress on the job affects many individuals. The percentage of employees suffering from work-related stress has increased substantially. The effects that come from stress can be detrimental to a person’s health. Individuals view stress as a typical day to day issue that can be easily maintained, but that is not the case for many who are suffering from it. As the symptoms go on untreated, the severity magnifies. Work-related stress migrates from work to home unknowingly, causing more stress in an individual’s life.
does get rather obnoxious. My father is only doing what dads want best for their kids. And I
For most people, a job that they love is only in their dreams and doesn’t seem like something that will ever happen. Author, Paul Graham, wrote this essay, “How To Do What You Love”(2006), to inform and entertain his readers about the importance of finding an occupation that can be loved for the rest of one’s life in order to succeed in that job. This essay incorporates many pieces of informative advice with the main point of “do what you love.” He elaborates on this by illustrating how children are brought up assuming that work is not supposed to be fun, but he believes that it is possible to find work that is gratifying. Graham is able to convey his points very well through his great use of organization and his supporting details to his thesis.
My father was always there for me, whether I wanted him to be or not. Most of the time, as an adolescent trying to claim my independence, I saw this as a problem. Looking back I now realize it was a problem every child needs, having a loving father. As hard as I tried to fight it, my dad instilled in me the good values and work ethic to be an honest and responsible member of society. He taught me how to be a good husband. He taught me how to be a good father. He taught me how to be a man. It has been 18 years since my father’s death, and I am still learning from the memories I have of him.

Selecting a career is the most important decision in a person’s life. The Health care industry has a good future in the United States of America. According to the American Department of Labor, the Medical assistant is one of the fastest growing health care professions. I have always been inclined towards health care and therefore I decided to be a medical assistant. To become a medical assistant one should possess different qualities. But the most important quality is to be a very responsible person.
This influence is what I think causes most of my dads stress. My dad is a general contractor. With the economy the way it is right now, he doesn’t work as much as he used to. Because he never went to college, he struggles supporting my mom and I everyday. My mom was a hairstylist for over 20 years and absolutely loved it until she got in a car accident causing her to have multiple neck surgeries. As of today, my mom isn’t working and is on disability. I can tell it affects their relationship because they were successful when I was younger. I believe this is the cause of their fighting. It brings me down at times, but somehow they make everything work. As long as they support each other, everything will be
A personal experience of this matter consisted of a friend of mine. He used to work at a local restaurant as a bus boy. To me, he was a laborer. He didn’t enjoy his job at all. Whenever he would have a day off, he would be grateful and happy. Although, he would often spend his days complaining about how horrible his job was and the fact that he had to go back to work the next day. He would find himself doing anything that would get his mind off work. Things such as drinking or smoking ended up a major past time of his. He concluded that drinking and smoking was an escape from his horrid job. The more he hated his job, the more he would go out and party in an attemp...
