I think that now I live to work. When I was younger I worked to live. As I have gotten older, my work has become more interesting than a lot of activities that other people do for pleasure. At least it's more interesting to me.

If I had a job I'd love to do, I'd gladly live to work. It's always good to have a job that you love doing.

As for the question you asked, I work to live.

What about you Baby Angel? Are you still a baby or are you old enough to work? Smile

Hi!

I'd say both because I like what I do and I'm happy that I still can get to choose to work in the area I studied for, but as for economic purposes i'd say I work for life because as much as I love my job I wish I didn't have to work so much Wink

I think people should stop working for money. If people think this, or this much, this or this much is what they are going to get. If you think big, money comes along.

Hi mates!
my Gosh!
my opinion is that I work just to be able to live, I mean to have a roof and food on the table...........ohh and to have some clothes to wear, otherwise I would walk naked in the streets of Paris. lol
If I had money, I'd like to do only what I like doing, like traveling and visiting others countries and learn about other cultures.....and be under the sun 365 days a year! I really am serious here!
Talk to you soon guys

Haii alll

Life for work or work for life.......
Ooooo I am in dilemma..even thought I am still a student.

To have a decent life, whether we like it or not we must work.

But I think we must enjoy our job. If we treat our job purely as a job, we should consider leaving it. Realistically, we spent more time in our at work than anywhere else. So I believe if our job mean nothing other that for living we should change our job and find the one that is suitable for us.

working for life or living to work Sun May 11, 2008 20:56 pm  working for life or living to work
 

I am definitely working for life because if I would be living for work I would b some kind of machine or robot and I would be doing only a particular thing.
On the other hand I love to do lots of thinks. I think I could not do only one thing (like living for work).
Besides I hate to work in these conditions from naow (when it's necesarry to work in order to live decently) . If I would be obligated to love for work I would colapse or something like that.
Finally I say and demonstrate that I am working for live because work it's just a necesity.
