I grew up on this quote.
Met people who countered this ideology.
Felt life was too short to be wasted in work.
They sought fun,frolic,human relationships,leisure,travel above work.
Some worked for a living,just to make ends meet.
To many work was a plain burden.
I,too have always weighed my attitude to work.
What does my job mean to me?
A 9-5 time drill,where I perform like a machine,then re-program myself
to enjoy an idyllic existence..Is it just that??..Can it be just that??
People have through time sacrificed work at the altar of domesticity,romance,
depression,joy.
We have always worked against the concept of "work".
Yet,I find,God aside,work has almost,always given back to man far more than what man gave work.
It bought us immortality..why else would be remember Einstein,Churchill,Ford,David Packard,Bill Gates,Steve Jobbs...
What distinguishes these mortals from their fellow humans?
The Almighty apart,work is the only religion which always stands by an individual.
It never lets you down.
And yet I start this week with an enormous lethargy...
Penning down these thoughts of mine,shall help me acknowledge the enormity of what my job,my work does for me...
It single handedly almost manages to pull me out of any misery,establishes in my life a dogma of hope and postivity killing out all the negative and earns me bread,butter and most importantly my self respect.
Kudos to better working and a better work ethic!!
Thankyou God for my Work!!
