'It is more important to enjoy your job than earn a lot of money.' Does this statement hold true for you?

When we decide on an occupation, we got to be dedicated to it for a long period of time. The reason for working are as the person, but we all work because we obtain something we need in work. The something we obtain from work impacts our morale and motivation and the quality of our lives. Every individual has their own mindset and goals to fulfil, some people work due to enjoyment, and others work for personal fulfillment, like monetary.

It is very essential to enjoy our career as one will be more devoted and zealous to their vocation. As work starts early daily, if we enjoy your work, we will anticipate to go, instead of dreading over it. An occupation is an important part of our lives, and it is long term. Without interest in work, we will not be able to be committed to work, therefore work productivity will be low. People who put their heart and soul into their desired occupation will lead a more fulfilling life than those who do not delight in their job.

For example, Mother Teresa, who dedicated her entire life to care for the sick people in Calcutta, never did it for money. She did it with all her love instead. Some others love do volunteer services in hospital, childcare centres and charity organisations as they are willing to help out.

As the society demand increases, and standard of living rises, people desire a high paying job to sustain their family and themselves. Some may be the sole breadwinner of the family, thus in order to provide a better life for their family, they seek for money than for enjoyment in jobs. Some people have the mentality that if they work a high paying job, they are able to retire and enjoy life early as they have earned enough money to manage for the rest of their lives. Majority of the people work to pay off utility bills, and other charges. With out money one can not succeed in life, in relation ships and socially. In order to obtain all basic necessities of life a person tries to find a job or starts a business to become richer in order to get food, water, electricity, shelter etc and be respected in society and be accepted by all.

Working for money also causes one to have little time for his family. For instance, my uncle is a delivery man and has to work long hours to earn enough money to support his family. He does not enjoy delivering goods, but he does not have a choice. Due to the fact that he has to work long hours, he lost a lot of time together with his family. His children do not have a close relationship with him.

In the process of earning money, one should enjoy doing what they have interest in. To earn sufficient amount of money and enjoy good quality of life is more important than a stressful working life earning a lot of money. In my opinion, it is more significant to enjoy my job than earn a lot of money. Money is not everything to me because money cannot buy happiness, satisfaction and love. As long as i take pleasure in my job, I have achieved my goals.
