While,maybe no one would like to work instead staying at home,but we still need to survive,we need to make money and live a better life,so,what do you think meaning of work?Are you really working only for living?

First of all , i work to help my husband with our finances. Other than that, i need my work to keep my brain from getting rusty. My work also helps me to be always fashionable and it enlivens me by interacting with lots of people. If i will just be at home, i will feel sloppy and dull, because there's no one to socialize with.

Absolutely great idea.If we just stay at home and do not socialize with people outside the world,our view could definitely be quite narrow.We may enjoy our life by learning from others.It's kind of a lesson in our life,too.Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

I think we should work for the living and not for a living. I think work is a way of life which helps men understand life itself. However, nowadays work become ones sole life purpose. Hence making it as work for a living. Living is not work but work is a way of living. Therefore, living is not limited to just working in contrast to what people nowadays do, but we should consider work as only an aspect of living. I hope I made my point sensible in here.

There is a list of reasons why people work: the money to retire and be quiet in order to cover the needs of fear for the family, for their pleasures, of inertia or to not bored of of affirmation, to have a purpose, to feel useful, etc.. Why do I work? I work for money. I want the money to be able to access areas or new places. I went for a long time working to cover my needs, because it seems to me destructive thinking / limiting, regardless of the amount circulated. Working to create operating systems (products, services, etc) so well that are not observed (serios!). Complex and well made ??things that are involved in giving me great inner satisfaction (even when they do not produce money). I work for is a practical way to meet people, make friends and socialize in general. I am not alone, but I think it is much easier than working to find people with common interests and aspirations. Plus, combine business with pleasure. I work because my work can help them help others, and to take care of my family.

Work is part of my life. I cannot separate myself from work because not only it provides what my family needs but work helps me to learn more and somehow enjoy the company of my officemates.

I go to work only for living,now ,the society is getting more and more materialistic,everyone wants to strive to be the best ,food that we eat need to be nice,things that we use need to be good,clothes that we wear need to be up to date etc,if i have enough money provide those things ,perhaps i woudld stay at home,but i had to throught work hard to earn more money.Of couse ,there are many funny things in my work ,but in the final analysis,i work only for living.

Working should not be limited to financial matters. Most people work only for the sake of money. That should not be case. You can get all the money that you want at work but you'll not get enough fulfillment in your life. You should work because you want to continuously learn. You must always like to learn and improve so that you can cope with the constant change we have in our lives. You work because you know you are happy doing it and it fulfills your dreams. And that attitude can eventually lead you to success. :)
