Since I graduated from a university, I had worked like a cow. It seems that there is no another day. I have my own reason why it should be like this. My family was being nibbled by my father side’s siblings. It was a tough time and promised to myself to work like a cow for the sake of the family. I had done so many stunts in my life and forgive these nibblers. I am sure some of you have all the reasons to work hard. Do you work like a cow? Image Credit: pixabay.com

@Shavkat But you are still young. And what do you plan to do after this ' early retirement?'

@silvermist I want to travel and have my own business. But I also wanted to continue working in an international NGO.

Oh yeah, that is one of the reasons why I am not so active here. I have to work triple time other than all the household chores and responsibilities i do in the house.

I also do the same thing. I cannot afford to spend a lot of time here lately. However, it is also a good way to have an extra income.

I have worked hard all my life and rarely take a break. However, I have slowed down over the last few years. I have seen those who work hard make it a habit and also the opposites! siva

I think we also deserve to slow down at work.

Your title caught my attention. I've heard expressions about work like a dog, a horse or even a beaver but this is the first time with regards to a cow. I'm guessing you use this metaphor because you feel your uncles/aunts are using you as a "milking cow". or as we say in the vernacular, they are "palamunin"?
