Dimex's Tuire asked us, the new board members Pertti and me, to write a blog. I immediately agreed and boasted that I had written poems with rhyming endings as a young girl. I thought I would take this on as a BIG challenge and do it in a poem format, but I saw a rap artist on a morning TV show and thought that a rocking rap would suit the dynamic Dimex better than a heavy poem. Or what?
If only I could compose and perform, I could put this on YouTube. Now I just hope that some rapper will grab the lyrics and record it :). I'm ready for a choir of angels in the background.
Well, then let's try to create the first rap lyric of my life.
Dimex's work rap
(Imagine the lyrics to the beat of a rap)
How can Finland be made to rise?
Well, of course, by working. We roll up our sleeves and get busy.
All day long – it's your own workday. Be proud of your work, even if you don't always get praised.
It all takes us forward. And we will make Finland rise!
When the boss comes calling, throw on your work jacket. And whatever name you choose, it says DImex on it.
Throw on your overalls too, that's where it starts.
Work hard all day, and you won't have a single worry in the evening. Do everything in a good mood, and your boss will be happy with you. And everything will just go smoothly. It will go smoothly as if by itself.
Work makes you feel good – and sometimes you feel an empty stomach.
Then remember to rest and nourish yourself!
Then again, you can handle what the company pays you for.
Everyone is pulling together. Let's move Finland forward together.
Sometimes problems and worries get in the way, but don't let them take over.
There is a solution to everything. It has always been that way before. So trust in that today too.
When the day's work is done, the hustle and bustle ends.
It's time to put away the Dimex and go home singing. Or whatever you do, be happy
And charge yourself, while charging your phone. That way, things get done. Almost by themselves.
So let's enjoy this – a whole life!
Which includes work and rest. And, to top it off, fun and laughter.
All the best to you and your career!
