It is believed that almost people go to work to make a living. Since beginning of time, people have involved with lots of works to earn money. These days, however, the concept of working or having a job has been changed a lot. So there are a variety of reasons why people work. Some people work to have better life by earning money. Others go to work to achieve their own goals or ego. Still other people even work for others who need help.
On the one hand, it is true that people are still depending on money a lot by working. I believe, however, the original meaning of going to work has changed. Fomer decades years ago, people just work for making money related the most basis of living such as eating, wearing, and houses for sleeping. As technologies have been improved in the way of people's life, people could enjoy more convenient life. At the same time, people became enthusiastic to thier works since they could make more money if they have worked harder.
On the other hand, people work for accomplishing their goals or self ego. For example, there are lots of singers who are wandering here and there in my country. They are not interested in their monatery status but they enjoy sing songs for others. As once I asked why they are singing songs for others, they replied that they were achieveing their own goals. Even though they could not make a living fully with singing, they were satisfied with thier positions.
Also, people go to work for helping others. Todays, it seems that many people are interested in helping others. Those of them, some people are helping others as their works. Though working for the poor or sick is arduous, people who are willing to help them consider is as a precious works. To these people, they feel happy and accomplishment by surpporting others.
So, I believe that the reasons why people work could not be confiends in these days. Even if almost people rely on works for the money even todays, there are lots of people who do their best in working not expcting financial things. |
