*THE THING WITH CLOSE PEOPLE(Pt.3-The Work/Professional Side)*_

I did *The thing with Close People(Pt.1&2)*- being family,friends,mentors,where we looked at how difficult it is to be straight&sincere with them&also to draw them to Christ.

The links to them:
*Part 1*

*Part 2*

I didn't plan to continue with Part 3 but with the help of my guide,it prompted me to  the work/professional side with close ones.How difficult?..easy?...how should it be?

In Gen.29:14-30,the story is told of Jacob who fled from home to be with his *Uncle*,Laban. He said- _Just because you are my relative,should you *work* for *nothing*,tell me what your wages will be?_
In place of that,Jacob opted for the younger Rachel to marry. *_Why will i not give her to you,a relative instead to another man_*
Jacob had to work another 7yrs because according to his *uncle* the older should marry first. *And so Jacob unduly did a double Job.*

Working for close people ha?...
It has always been seen as *not* advisable. Why?...they won't do it well, you can't say it. On the other hand,they are taken for granted with  compromises here&there.

It is BUSINESS& the essence of professionalism/doing the right thing is lost.

Again,like i dealt with in Pt.1&2,it all balls down to the relationship.It isn't just about the usual cordiality but truly how sincere &truthful will you be if as close as you are,you embark on a venture.

Should the money go elsewhere if your best friend,sibling,work &church member have the expertise &can do far better?

What's better...you know each other well,you can easily make sacrifices together _like no salary in case of losses or crucial times. This, you won't get with an outsider.Plough back Profit all to make the business grow._

It would have been the best&most advisable if *we* will go with an open&pure mind eschewing all the negative,lacklutre&cheat mentality associated.

HOWEVER, *i am all for it* if because of certain familiarities,conflict of interest,mere uncomfortability,& poor relations, one can't work with close people.

Per our thinking,experience &the world we live in, it is still not advisable not to work with close/familiar people. Some people thrive well on that&for me if the relationship,certain understanding& above factors ain't right,then do it. _('M3 ni nii s3m',it is most painful,anyone would prefer an outsider)_

As Christians,will we allow *Familiarity to continue to breed Contempt*-Why don't we truncate it NOW. Why do a poor job,cheat,act unconcerned just because he is a close person. Shouldn't it be the other way round???...For those in it,LET'S BE THE CHANGE AGENTS NOW!
'Whatever you do,do it with all your heart as unto the Lord.(Col.3:23)

SO I SAY:
*THIS IS THE THING WITH CLOSE PEOPLE-The Work/Professional Side.*
