We wear a different hat in each environment we circulate.
Did you know you’re a fashionista in your own right? Don’t sound so surprised. Were you aware you have a collection of hats?
Do I hear you say you don’t wear hats? Well I am inclined to disagree. Let me explain.
How many environments do you circulate in? There is home, extended family, friends, school or work. Then there are the hobbies we partake in and enjoy.
Would you agree that your behaviour differs when you are with family as opposed to with friends?
You don’t perform in the work place with the same mannerisms you would your mates. There are similarities but our attitudes are somewhat different.
When we are at home with our family we are able to relax and behave in accordance to the moods we feel. We have ourselves on display. The good, the bad and the ugly. We have grown up with these people and they have seen us in all our glory and at our worst.
Then we have the work hat. Our temperament and behaviour are very different to the hat we wear at home. We don’t slouch over the lounge, surfing TV channels yelling, “Mar, when is dinner going to be ready?” We present with an approachable professional attitude.
