Why We Work

When we live in the world, we all work for some reasons or other. Different people have different attitudes towards work. Some people live to work. They devote themselves to their work. The aim for which they work is to realize the value of life, to promote the development of society and to make more people live a happy life.They make great contributions to society and at the same time they also find pleasure in their work.

On the other hand, other people work to live. They regard work as a way of making a living. The purpose for which they work is to kill time or to make enough money to support themselves and their families. They often regard work as what they have to do. So they can't obtain pleasure and enjoyment from their work. Such people,once they can afford to support themselves and their families, perhaps quit their work.

In my opinion, we shouldn't go to extremes. Since we are members of society, we should do what we can to better the society so that we can live in a more comfortable and more convenient surrounding. Good life is an assurance of smooth work. Only when we realize this can we live happily and work well.
