TOEFL essay ppl work because they need money to live. what are the other reasons that people work. give examples

Though I do believe that there are many reasons for people to work. For one reason, people work to make money. For another reason, people work to make self-realization. Lastly, people work to promote the progress of the society.

In this essay, I will use specific examples and details to explain the last two reasons for people to work. People work not only for money but also for self-realization about themselves. By working people can feel satisfaction about themselves. This is because by working people can apply what they have learned before in reality. They can feel they are good and useful to their society. Those satisfaction about themselves will generate happiness and motivations to better develop themselves. For example, I have a friend who always wondered whether the knowledge he had learned in the college was useful or not. After he worked he had applied what he had learned into reality and got satisfaction about himself. He has confidence now and also feels he should go on with his study in the future. So, we can see by working one can make self-realization.

Another reason for people to work is because the requirement of the development of the society. The progress of the society depends upon the each member in it. The societies which are made up of hard-working people usually make more progress than those made of people who do not work. The wealth of the society is made by people's work. Moreover, if one society gets wealthier and stronger, it can do more good to the members in it.

In short, people work not only to make money but they work for their self-realization and to make contributions in the development of the society.
