Mature During Employment?

Chinese parents often tell their children at a young age to always work hard for every penny you earn for every penny you have earn reflects the hard-work, sweat and effort you've put in.

I get told I spend a lot of money but I tend to save an amount of money then use it all in one go because I believe there is no point in looking at products you wish to buy but don't have the amount to buy it straight away. If I save up a lump sum, and I see something I like I am able to buy it.

I am a sushi lover, and my favourite fish is Salmon. You guessed it; salmon sashimi, salmon nigiri, salmon hand roll, salmon and avacado iso.. the lot. I landed my job at Yo!Sushi and I got asked at my interview why I think I'd suit to work at Yo!Sushi and what they can bring to me.

My response was, I am happiest when I eat my favourite food - sushi is one of my all time favouite; salmon ones in fact. So why can't I work for a place that does something I enjoy eating when I am happy? People tend to moan about not able to find a job they enjoy or the pay is not what they expect and end up not able to enjoy themselves and slowing down a company.

If I worked at the place, I am likely to be happy because I have direct access to the foods I enjoy and able to earn money at the same time. I have interest in the products and I have a good enough knowledge about it therefore communicating with customers would benefit the most. Who benefits out of it? well, the customer who ask questions, myself and of course the company.

I got told recently I seemed more mature than I used to be since I landed my job. I'm not too sure myself, but I have a more regular sleeping pattern and responsibility seems to have changed and of course I am more talkative and more open to meeting people. But personally, I think my attention span hasn't really improved. Maybe I'm more mature than I was before. But then again, if you are working for a company you are more likely to be responsible for yourself and the company because I'll have direct contact with customers and food that I serve to the customers; if I am not responsible for myself and my health I am likely to bring possible harm to them.

Does this count as responsibility? or me 'learning' to be more mature?
