    Apart from the constant drama, flaming and trading we see everyday, I believe the community also needs some intellectual discussions.

    Note: all text I am about to write are parts from my research done in university(Fraudian theories and historical analysis, I simple changed the topic from literature to daily life things); thus I would appreciate to keep this only here in gamez. Any adolescents who doubt my legitbility are free to google all they want.

    Today our discussion will be Work(physical work as a mean to earn a living)

    Before we get started let me clarify some terms here.

    Work, which is the main topic today, is the ugly reality that everyone wants to avoid. To earn a living, one must inevitably work and therefore the work may or may not be appreciated by the doer. Ex: working in an office as an accountant, John has always wanted to become a teacher. In this situation, although John is hindered from his true passion and ambition, he is ableto surivive and make a good earning with his job.

    Thus, I conclude that work is can be awarding but at the same time discouraging (that of which from ones true goal)

    Moreover, work I unavoidably connected with time and money.

    Money, the paper that runs our world, is the medium for us humans to continue to live and prosper. And it is true, money runs the world.

    Time, twenty four hours a day, seven dys a week fifty four weeks a year, is precious and wasted time will never be re gained. A man who dreams of what he would do tomorrow rather than doin it tostado does not know the meaning time.

    Fom here, the time I am talking about is free-time, the time in which we can relax and enjoy ourselves

    Therefore, I conclude that money and time exists in a equalibrillim( chemstry student will understand this concept immediately)

    What I mean is : one side gains wil affect the other side lose, there we always be a gain and a loss.


    The flow chart: more money requires more work, and thus more work will shorten the amount of free time avaiable. When this occures, money is increased and time is decreased. This is what equalibrillim meant.

    However, interestingly enough there is a big flaw in this equation.

    Both work and money are of indefinite and undetermined matters, but time is limited and restricted.

    Now, you may think, how can something indefinite be compared to something limited?
    The question brings us back to our main topic: work-> money-> life.


    Here is my question for you:

    Should one enjoy a career that he is not satiaified with even though he is making a good living?

    Keep flamming digression and vagular language to minimal, I would love to hear some opinions.


    Hayden.

    My mom works at a salon, typical Asian female work there.
    Although she's not getting paid, since she's in her "Training" years, but thanks to my aunt's [who in turn is a really hardworking pharmacist] support and others at her workplace, she seems really happy with her current job.

    TL;DR, Abridged version: My mom enjoys working even though she doesn't get paid.

    Oh, I didn't read your TL;DR also. Please spare me.


    Ninjaedit: I finally read it, and I must say it really depends on the situation.

    For example, a broke ass who draws really well, but can also work in the medical field if trained, should be doing the better-paid job, especially in an economy like this.

    But if you're filthy rich like Bill Gates, go ahead and let your artistic talents fly. No one's stopping ya.

    wow this is new here in gamez forums...+1 to this...

    I myself is enjoying my work (apart from my dream work) as it has offered me a good salary....

    In practical means, (IMO) greater salary brings greater satisfaction as it allows me to buy things I wanted, on the contrary the work I dreamed of offers only half of the salary that I'm earning right now, only enough to pay my bills and sometimes to chill out...

    It is based on my experience though

    My dad tells me the exact opposite lol. That it was unfortunate stuff is so easy for us, we don't value money, we're spoiled, and we don't understand the importance of hard work, etc. idk, it makes sense seeing some of my snobbish friends, but I wouldnt say it was unfortunate.

    Sure it is not. Having tons of money that isn't put in the right place is just as devastating as having none at all.

    hmmm...i think, people who can enjoy their job plus have big salary is rarely.

    In real life, i have many friends who take a job that they don't satisfied with it, and when i ask why to them... the answer almost same, cause they need money, they will take unsatisfied job just for get a better life. Some of them do not come from wealthy families, so they do it for their family too (parents, brother / sister).

    Life does not always go according to what we want, or we enjoy. Sometimes there are several reasons that force us to take something else, as long as it can make us and our beloved person get a better life.

    Without money we can't live in this world, and you must work to get it, no matter whether you like it or not with the job.
