Working for?

Many years ago over 90% of people were working for the money

Now maybe 95% of people are working for the money :)

That is good, very good. Excellent!

 

Surely the size of our income matters. It matters a lot. 

And what matters perhaps more than that still, is how much we enjoy our work.

We spend on average more than half our waking hours at work.

If we do not enjoy these hours, a big part of our life really stinks.

How to enjoy the job?

 If whatever task at hand, we try to do the very best we can, this will almost automatically result in job satisfaction. This is easier for some jobs than for others, but for most jobs, doing our very best, will lead to a certain pride of performance, and that is an almost certain recipe for job satisfaction. 

I remember my personal assistant, when I was head of department in our hospital. She had made it one of her major objective to make every day at least one person smile at work. And she was generally perceived as a jovial person and liked by many. She was a happy personal assistant.

The above paragraph is just one example of making our job more enjoyable but I am sure there may thousands of small ways to do so. With a little bit of creativity and lots of positive thoughts, I am sure we can make most of our work for own peace of mind and happiness. And in the mean time we will get a salary, so necessary for our daily living. :)
