415 The Joy of Work

“The Joy of Work”

To work is to live.
It is not only to provide food, clothing, and shelter,
But also to experience the joys and challenges of life.
Children grow up watching their parents work,
And learn the meaning and value of work.

When you first start working, all your focus is spent on learning the job.
Once you start to understand your job a little,
you will experience relationships and failures.
Work is a place of learning for the soul.

Working is also sometimes called “making things easier for others.”
By someone working,
Someone else benefits.
Even if you think your job is boring and tedious,
Your work is always beneficial to someone.

People don’t work for the sake of the economy.
The economy is created by the work of the people.
A society that prioritizes the economy is putting the cart before the horse.
There is no joy of work in such a society.

The joy of work lies in the results.
The results are the contribution to people and society,
It is how much happiness is created.
The economy is the measurement of that.
Creating smiles on the faces of many people,
That is the joy of work.
