Editor, Sam Kebongo’s commentary (The mystery of the dirty car...The New Times, March 30) is a story reflecting the day-to-day work attitude of the majority of employees in Rwanda. Most of us earnestly seek jobs but when we get them we complain about the workload and instead of doing what we were hired to do, we simply do as little as possible, and just spend on all the time Facebook and other time-wasting stuff. How else would you explain many people’s chronic unpunctuality, whether reporting to work or meetings? And even when we get down to work few people really do it with the desire to excel and produce quality results.It’s a shame many employees seem to lose touch with our productive capacity rather easily, and instead of making the most of their employment opportunity, they only blow it up disappointing everyone around them. This must change.RaghuKacyiru Editor,Thank you very much Mr Kebongo for a very interesting article, and I wish it is read by every service provider in this country, especially during the ongoing customer care campaign.There is a lack of passion for work in many areas. I think one of the causes is that many people do the work they are doing because they are just after making money. Others do it because it’s what their parents chose for them or because there is no other options, etc. Without a passion for whatever you are doing you can hardly do a good job. To change the trend, children need to be guided early enough, with regard to their career path. Parents and teachers must educate kids on the importance of loving and enjoying their future work. That will be a good contribution to this nation but to your child too. Long live Rwanda!PeterKigali Editor,Kebongo, thank you very much for your piece! You said: “There is no light without darkness. No virtue without vice, no good without bad, no roses without thorns, no heaven without hell. It is called duality.” What a message! Great description of nature.EmmaKimihurura
