I am sure you have noticed that many buildings have rear and side doors which is how most people get in using the badge. If there is a chance I prefer taking the front door. I can understand that rear and side doors are convenient for employees to get in as there are more parking spaces there. Front areas are usually reserved for visitors.

But I prefer getting into the office from the front door. I feel good. I am reminded of my professional role. The feeling that you are doing important work and that your work is valued and you are adding value to something that involves other people. The feeling that you are not alone.

I am sure there are a ton of other ways in which this can be achieved and I am in no way saying that those who enter from the rear and side doors are not all those things I said. It is just that we all gain our inspiration from different things.
