Working for life or life for working

            Working means doing activities that some people earn money from those activities. It can be services activities. Doing business and being employed are working. Working has a major purpose. That is to get paid or to earn money. People make money because the need to sport their life. If we can live without any money we do not need any money again.

            Many people go to work in the morning and go home in the afternoon till evening. The international standard of working hour is 8 hours/ day. If you work more than 8 hours a day you have worked overtime. How long do you spend your time for working in a day? Do you bring your office task home?

            Most people who work for companies start working at 9:00 Am to 4:00 PM. They work for earning some salary or getting paid. Here, I am not going to talk about the salary but I am going to discuss how we spend the time, how our job influence our life cycle  so that we work for life or our life is for working.

            For me, I don’t want to spend and explore all my time for working. I need to work for life. I need to enjoy my time, my mind with my family, friends and neighbors. I don’t want to talk about office task at home. I am not a perfectionist. I want to enjoy my life without stress even my office task needs deadline on Friday I will suspend my task till tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. My life is too precious to be burden by workload. When my boss gets angry with me I will say “ I am going to finish the task as soon as possible”  That’s it. The worst thing I will get a warning letter from my boss. That’s not a problem but until now I have never got even a letter of warning from my boss.

            There is a wise word from Javanese culture ‘ Alon-alon asal kelakon” it means that we do work slowly as long as we accomplished the work well better than we do work in stressful and hurried manner. Every second in my life is worthy. I don’t want to burden my life and get stressed because of workload. My job isn’t everything. It is just a small part of my life. Life is too beautiful to think about office job and tomorrow’s work plan. I just want to do good things in my day and night. Is your life beautiful too? I’d be happy you can share your beautiful life here.
