Why is it important to like your job?

 



Few years back I was attending a big seminar/ information meeting with around 200 people. 

There was a topic going which I don't remember exactly but I commented on a topic loudly "Arbeiten muss spaß machen" (Work must be fun) because mostly we live for work. 

Oops 😳 I got attention suddenly. The speaker sent his assistant with the microphone 🎤 towards me. He asked "What did you just say? 'We live for Work'? Tell me what do you mean because I don't agree with you."

I was not prepared for this moment but I explained him shortly why I think so and also asked him few questions:

My questions to him were:
  • Tell me how many hours you are at work?
  • Tell me how many hours you are at home?
Just remove sleeping time because at that time you are basically nowhere. 
  • So now tell me where you are spending most of your time? 
  • At work or somewhere else? 
  • Now think again of my words and why I said this?

He was shocked and said I will come back to you. This disturbs him. 

What do you think? Do you live for work too? Have you thought on this point?
