What is your opinion? Do you work for life or live for work? #16 (permalink) Thu May 15, 2008 21:56 pm   What is your opinion? Do you work for life or live for work?
 

hi my friends! this is very interesting question. As for the same issue, please imagine do you eat for living or do you live for eating?? yes, the answer's definitely eat for living. In this case, I better choose "work to live" Very HappyVery HappyVery Happy It's a joke.
In my opinion, at the moment Im very young so I have a lot of time. Therefore I dont need to decide working for life or live for work. The most importance things for me now is to gain experiences as much as I can.

In my opinion, I think it's just matter of agening... As you get older you get more tasks, obligations, problems etc etc... So I think when you're older, you only live to work and to support your family at one point (unless you don't have one :/)

The older you get, the easier it should be for you to support your family and deal with your problems and complete your tasks, etc. It all depends on what your goals. Most people never think about creating a system that generates value for other people. The vast majority earn their living by trading their time for money. As soon as they stop working, they stop getting paid.

'work for life'

In my opinion, we all have work to earn money and lead a decent life(whether we like it or not,it is necessary).

Hello,

Your job will always be a burdensome work if you think of it as a sine qua non of living. So to avoid that, one must regard his/her profession as a vocation. To do that, one must live for work/work for people. The other things come along.

This isn't just learning English, I am learning many new things with all of you. I should say, we (english-test team) are not a team, we are a family Smile

I always treat 'work' as a verb, it should not be an object or noun...for our object is 'happiness' Smile

Hello Nur,

Happiness is a mental state, not a physical one. Happiness is within you. Most of our goals have to do with what is external. But the ingredients of happiness are internal. Some people try to 'reach' happiness via external factors. I think there are ways you need to think, not steps you need to take.

Hoffer, Eric

You actually sound like my father. Confused

I think you need to achieve a certain level of spiritual strength to apply that concept in your life.

Being Zuhud is the biggest challenge for me, yet according to the wise ones, it is the way to happiness.

Nina could connect to what I wanted to say. We shouldn't be objective at defining 'happiness' for it is inherently relative.

I am afraid I've lost you Gray.

Are you saying that people just want different things and therefore any attempt to define happiness subjectively, is really a waste of time? Smile
