How many of us go about our daily work and duties with a bad attitude? Sometimes we assume our obligations with discouragement and the truth is something more common than we may think. That has happened to me many times in my life. Moments where I feel trapped by the routine and overwhelmed by how the days become repetitive.
There are many ways to deal with the routine of the days. But although it may seem contradictory, the best way to act with respect to the things we do is to try to do them well, making an effort to do things well, as if it were art.
Consequently, the jobs I did were of poor quality or I ended up doing things badly because I lacked enthusiasm or motivation. As I have said before, I work with medical technologies and I also work a lot with electronic boards. I have made an effort to try to improve in many aspects related to my work. Perfecting the soldering technique, buying quality materials and tools, being attentive and not having distractions when checking the status of an electronic board and more.
Becoming an electronic soldering artist:
The photograph I shared with you is of a pressure sensor from a medical device. What I was doing was soldering the contacts of the sensor with tin. When I receive electronic cards I always see that the soldering is poorly done as if it was done in anger. So now I am trying to make the weld as perfect as possible. With a functional and aesthetic result.
In art, when a work of art is made, it usually (not always) takes some effort and dedication. In that sense I am doing my routine work, as if it were a novel experience.
Just as a painting artist uses paints and brushes, or a music artist uses a musical instrument such as the guitar, so my tools to make this art are:
Soldering iron
Solder paste
digital multimeter
tin
extractor
and most importantly a good attitude
CONCLUSION:
Looking at life from the positive side is the best way to face what one considers routine or difficulties. Everyday things such as our daily chores, work, taking care of our children, driving our car to buy groceries, etc. can all be done in the best possible way. It is up to us to live life with passion, like an artist.
Everything as its own arts even what we love from work we are able to be creative and innovative.
