It's all about the money!
Is it?
"*oink* It's mine, it's mine! It's all mine!" said the pigBleary eyed, head pounding, stomach nauseous from having only had time to eat a few biscuits earlier in the day, you stumble out the lift and head zombie-fied towards your car. For what seemed like the hundreth time that day, you wonder, "Why do I put myself through this torture?!!!"
WORK. *sigh* A four letter word that most of us wished we didn't have to acknowledge exists.
And yet, ironically as tomorrow's beautiful morn dawns, yesterday's vicious cycle continues.
You wake up to a blast from your radio alarm, jolted from a dream where your boss was slave-driving you with a katana in one hand, whine, "I don't wanna work today!!!" but yet, still get changed and trudge to work to face the dreariness of yet another day.
What keeps you at it, I wonder. And sometimes also, whether there is any point at all in working so hard.
Is it because of your innate sense of responsibility? Your desire to make it rich by 30 and retire indefinitely? Your dream to make it BIG time and have your face splashed on the front page of all major financial newspapers and magazines? Or is it your need to feel a sense of purpose in life? Or more simply, is it all for the money?
Perhaps for most people they work because it's a combination of all the factors mentioned. A need to feel useful, that you're contributing to humanity in your own little way ie, not sampah masyarakat as my BM tuition teacher used to say.
To feel personal satisfaction and gratification. To make your parents proud, to assure them that you are capable of living independantly. To have your own money to enjoy some little luxuries and spend it on frivolous things in a way that you can only do with money that you have earned through your own sweat and blood...
Perhaps these reasons should be motivation enough to work.
Now, if only they were easier to keep in focus in moments of sheer frustration and sluggishness. Haha.
Ahh! To have a slug's life. Eat and sleep...pure luxury!!

That's where the importance of your MSN Messenger and your mobile phone comes in handy! Cry help whenever the work slumps you!
Of course, it's hard to find a job where you can be permenantly happy and that gratifies you financially as well...
