So Jus cool...leh me ask this question.....dis zeal and fevour that exports does get when dey reach america and ting....where dey does get it from? Uncle Sam does spray pherohormones into de atmosphere in every american city dat does cause yuh to want to work hard? You kno how much places looking for people to work now and nobody taking it up? Yet people cussing when dey bring in de chinese and dem to work...buh look wha happening...dem willing to work..and dem working hard. Yuh eh hadda worry bout dem coming all kinda one hour late and ting..and taking extra lunch time and ting...dem know wha dey about..and dey doing it. So why locals cant have that same attitude? Every job i ever work i approaching it just so.....do my work..done de ole talk. So why de locals who here cyar do dat too? Wha stopping dem? Dey know damn well if dey do dat in america dey go starve. But here is always somebody looking for de easy way out. No kinda consequences for anyting.
My father went england to work a time.....and de kinda work he putting down...de locals and all shame...he eh know bout tea time and ting like dat...he come to work...and he doing it. We could work..jus de problem is doing it! Dat eh nobody fault but yours if you eh want to work. I does fed up hear stories bout men who does have a tremendous work ethic when it come to repsol, BP, BG and all dem companies..and how dey does change when dey reach Petrotrin. All because dey know is a state enterprise..it local....dey attitude doh hadda be serious.
I realise dat yuh hadda be serious to get anything here..so i am. My work ethic go be de same anywhere in the world i end up because why...anything worth doing is worth doing well. And dis watlessness we have ingrained in our psyche is wha does have our football de state it in...and add to that..people getting vex and cussing wim when he say de damn truth. How much work most Pro League players does do on dey own? How much men does be like a jumbie hitting freekicks by deyself....practicing trapping..or just running for de hell of it? The only time sucess could come before work is in de dictionary...and we doh realise dat. How much national scholarship winners have a poor work ethic? How much people who achieved on the world stage achieved by having a lackadastical attitude? Not many...if any at all. Buh nah..is always somebody else fault.
As i said..behaviours does be reinforced or re-evaluated by consequences. If Trinidad was to get a dictator dat hand heavy with discipline yuh go hear complaints. Buh dis lack of discipline and dis selfishness is wha have de country in de state it in. Police corrupt....cuz dem care bout dem and dem alone. Liscencing office corrupt..cuz it paying more to do the right thing..and dey hardly likely to get ketch. Anyting could do once yuh know de correct person....a bottle of Johnny does go a long way..all kinda folly. Machine readable passport taking all kinda 18 months to get..when keith salick who never had one before get he own in a matter of days because he had to travel on tour. It eh to say it cant be done....is just dat many refuse to do it because it doh matter if dey do..or if dey dont. So when dey feel to..they do it. And if you go contrary to the grain...dey looking to buss your throat cuz you makin dem look bad.
Change hadda start with me. Tings didnt get so overnight...so yuh cyar expect it to fix overnight. Buh if it hadda fix in any short period of time..a heavy hand hadda be employed. Buh many people eh go be able to handle dat...people does done open dey mouth for petty nonsense here...everyting is a problem. So....let tings remain as they are. I know if I eh part of de solution..ize part of de problem. So..i doing wha i hadda do..might be insignificant in the whole big picture....but..at least at the end of the day..my conscience clear.
It have rel plenty more i could say eh..buh.....people go get vex.
Man , what kinda question is dat!! do you really want me tuh answer that question ? my young son and his friends would ask ah more valid question than that! in short , this is ah real forkin retarded question tuh tell yuh the truth bredder.
but i will try tuh answer it, that should be hard
. bredder , every developed country yuh migrate to, have ah higher work ethic than the 3rd world, especially the english speaking independent caribbean nations.
that's how those countries manage tuh reach the level of excellence that afford them to achieve the level of comfort and security they now enjoy.
it's not like we did anything special , when we land here we had tuh adjust and fall in line, and that's what we did!
living in T&T we also followed suite. the example that was set was what we followed, and quite frankly we thought it was the norm until we got a differant prospective by working outside of our native land!
the first job i held down in boo york , i almost fainted! it was on a construction site , and the bredder who was running the job was very demanding! let me tell yuh , i never work so hard in my life until i got that job.
so did i get sprayed with some kind of pheromones? hell fack no! i got sprayed with reality! if i wanted tuh survive i had tuh fall in line and do as the romans, if i wanted tuh keep ah roof over meh dunce head!
i can't believe i just answered dat dumb a$$ question! god help trini's tuh understand that instead of carrying feelings like some little school girls , they should hold their lackadaisical leaders in contempt for their lack of work ethic!! they spoiled the nation and created this lazy monster!! and it's a fact!
PS: don't blame Xpats for not wanting to return to a banana mismanaged republic! blame the lazy minded complaisant corrupted leaders for not doing enough with the abundance of resources they have @ their disposal!
so instead of being annoyed with us for our honesty, yuh should be equally angry! if not
MUCH more with yuh monkey leaders for doing way below the bare minimum! so fack all you over sensitive in denial muda faking local liers! the truth is , the country is being severely miss managed and runned into the asphalt!!!!!!!!!!
