Jetblue Flight Attendant & Justin Bieber

– August 10, 2010Posted in: Misc

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Everyone has bad days at work, right? You do too, I’m guessing…

I just saw two stories online today proving that work can be a pretty testing and tough arena..Check these out.

A Jetblue flight assistant got hit in the head by a passenger’s lugagge. When the passenger wouldn’t apologise, the attendant got on the plane’s loudspeaker and told them all what he thought of them. He told them all that he quit, then he grabbed a few beers, activated the plane’s escape slide and left. Wow. What an exit.

Justin Bieber was on stage recently doing his thing, when someone in the crowd threw a water bottle at him which SMACKED him in the head..Owwwwww.

It’s interesting to see how each responded… The flight attendant freaked out and gave up. But Justin Bieber just carried on..

I guess life throws things at us (sometimes literally!) and we have to choose our reaction.

Do you enjoy your job? Are there days when you feel like quitting?

What makes YOU stay in the game?

Share in the comment secction and let me know..

Yes, attitude is everything – love your neighbour, love your enemy.

From your tweet, I thought that something happened that made you want to quit your job… I’m glad that’s not the case!

I was going to offer some encouragement in the form of some more comments made yesterday by my little sister JoyAnna. She said your voice is lots better than lots of other recording artists (but she doesn’t want to say their names so they don’t feel bad). She also likes that your songs make sense and that you love Jesus.

So far as my job, there are definitely days I’d rather be doing something else. I keep it up because it seems like that’s where I’m supposed to be for now. :o) And for the most part it’s a pretty nice job.

There are totally days when I feel like quitting or just giving up before I even start and staying in bed. And it is in those moments I try to recall words of wisdom:

St. Teresa of Avila: “Let nothing trouble you, let nothing make you afraid. All things pass away. God never changes. Patience obtains everything.”

St. Julian of Norwich: “And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well” (also quoted by T.S. Eliot)

And if I don’t find comfort and resolve in the words of the saints that have been gone before, I turn to Margaret Mitchell, who penned these words spoken by Scarlett O’Hara in the closing scene of Gone with the Wind:

“After all, tomorrow is another day!”

They all serve to remind me that God is in control and even the worst of moments that feel like forever when they’re happening are still just fleeting in God’s grander scheme.

When all other motivations wash away in the storminess of life, knowing God has called me to my position keeps me there, and knowing He will empower me to do what He’s called me to do helps me take one more step forward.

Knowing that You’re not alone in desperately wanting to quite after minor or major incidents helps motivate me to stand strong and shrug if off as best as I can and just know that tomorrow is a new day.

When I think about quitting or giving up on people, I remember that Jesus never gave up on you or me; He was thinking about us even when He was hanging on the cross. And with His help, I can be successful at anything He’s called me to do, no matter what it is. I guess that’s what motivates me. By the way, you have great music; I enjoy listening to you on the radio!

Okay, this is a little out of context. I’m actually learning singing right now. My dream is to become a content-maker (write songs/movies/etc) that will inspire young ppl of today. And my best talent right now is singing. And I’m not sure whether singing will be the tool that God can use me with. There was a time I felt like quitting, but somehow because I promised myself that I will finish the course so I kept at it. I had prayed that I will not quit, and I believe God has somehow answered that prayer.

Now there’s an opportunity to go into the industry but I’m not sure if this is the right path to go. I’m just asking God to open and close doors as He wills. If I enter the industry, I feel that I will face the biggest and worst storms in my life, but if this is what God has intended for me to do, I truly believe that He will bring me through. Because really, I think, I don’t have anyone else but God who can stay true and hold me up when I see the storms and I falter.

Sometimes I do feel like quitting before things even begin! But I want to believe that God is with me and He is directing my path and I don’t want to miss out the opportunities to grow in Him and love Him and people more.

Sorry if I am blabbering without any content. :(

Right now I’m gonna start praying that God will indeed show the path, since He’s all knowing and His Word is lamp unto my feet, light for my path.

God bless you! When I read that you go to sing to the down and out, I am so inspired. I want to do the same as well! :D

Hi Vicky,
I love and enjoy my job as a graphic-designer very much. Everyday there are deadlines. This is no job from nine to five. This is a job where I can put mine creativety in. Everyday I thank the Lord/Jesus with a preayer for this gift.

100% he gave me this gift to put this in my job.

There are no days to feel like quitting the job. When there are some days with a lot of stress, the Lord will leading me throw.

God blesh you in all the things what you are doing. ‘Toppy’

Good for Justin! Do you think he had training for such a scenario? He definitely took the professional approach, but then so much is riding on his behaviour. If he had thrown a wobbler, it could have seriously damaged his career.

Much like the flight attendant who will probably never work in the air again.
