who loves to work?

11.38am


have you ever heard people telling you that they love their job? and do you actually sit there and just believe them? im telling you its all a front, a show. you dont know what goes on behind closed doors. for all you know, they could be bitching and griping about work to their family members or spouses. ok, benefit of doubt, there's a very very small percentage  out of the billions of people out there, who actually genuinely love(or like) what they are doing.

we all HAVE to work in order to live life. in order to support our families. put food on the table. pay our bills that never seem to end. and if we are born oh so lucky with a silver spoon in the mouth, then hey, you dont have to really worry about your future or where your next meal will be coming from. but for the rest of us, we have to work our butts off as long as we can. we cant strike it big  or make it big whilst working under somebody. even if  we had our own business, would we succeed? but god willing, with hard work, blood, sweat and tears, we could make it if we tried hard enough.

so i am wondering that if those folks who claim so openly to others that they like what they are doing and find it so exciting, then are taking us for fools. i mean come on lets face it, who actually love/like their jobs? why are you working in the first place? what are you trying to achieve? are you happy with your current position? ask yourself seriously. only you would know the answer. for the rest of us, we will never know the real truth.

alot of people i know be it friends or family, are all constantly grumbling about the long hours of work and about clients, colleagues, bosses etc. alot of unhappy people out there but no choice. they all have to continue to bite the bullet and just work for the sake of. but why? well you know the answer to that, dont you? to make money to survive. otherwise how are bills going to be paid? how are you going to put your kids thru school?college? uni? to buy what you want...the list is endless.

to me the bottom line is very simple. we work not because we love it, we work because we have to. given a choice, would you want to work your butt off day in day out for X amout of years with the same company?( be part of the furniture so to speak). you get paid a miserable salary, very sad pay increment, bonuses that sometimes come and sometimes doesnt. on top of that, when things go wrong at work, you are probably to be blamed for it altho it may not be entirely your fault (who knows) or used as a scapegoat but when there's a thumbs up or a job well done, check out whose benefiting from it, most definately not you im sure. so, why work so hard? work smart i say (if you know how to).
