I cherish my personal life which is why I hate it when work invades my personal time.. I need a great balance between the two.

Faiez I agree, like I said, the main essence of this entry is to say one NEEDS a BALANCE, of working and living.

zewt I agree, our Asian mentality is timid, but one shouldn’t use that as an excuse I think.

simon I just had to rub it in. Manure fans all around me were talking about it. I had the widest of smiles when I came in on Thursday morning.

nick LOL. I noticed a number of them were counting their chickens before the Milan game. Hehe!

living in our pathetic asian culture… work always take precedent. saying no is like a taboo, which is why, we all end sick or over-weight, due to lack of life.

I love my work, I really do! The company plays an important part as well for you to like your work… also colleagues. But I do like what I do disregard all of the above.

Having said that, as much as I love what I do, I still do it to live. Nobody work for fun, well… maybe adalah, but the main reason you work is because you need to live… bills to pay, food to buy, rent to pay etc. Unless you have an access to unlimited fund, that would be a different story.

But for the most of the ppl, we need to work to live. I can’t afford to live my life if I don’t work. Even if I hate my job, I would still have to do it I am just grateful I love what I do, it makes everything seems bearable!

And yes, apart from work to live… I work because of I need to be materially satisfied, hahaha! What’s better than satisfying your material needs with your hard earned money?

Time off is IMPORTANT! I can’t wait for mine in June, lalalalala *skipping around*

clement Well, the best is, if your work is your hobby.

Mr D Work to survive…

huei Yes, money’s not everything, but everything’s money.

Mo Yes, Dr Galli’s in the house! I cannot not rely on photos of maneaters all the time you know. Hahaha!

yipguseng Kumbaya my friend…

visithra I share the same sentiments, the gist of this entry is to enlighten some workaholics that there’s more to life than work.

endroo G Working at home may have benefits, but I see it as a disadvantage as it reduces human interaction, as it is humans are getting lazier thanks to technology.

Wahlau.NET Well, like I said, a BALANCE is needed. Look at Maslow’s hierarchy of needs…self-actualization my friend…

I think it still come down to money.

Work = Money
Money = Better Life
Money = Better Heathcare
> Better Heathcare = Better Life
Money = Security
> Security = Better Life
Money = Nice Car
> Nice Car = Better Life

haha…this can go on

Indeed â€“ a lot of ppl I know think work is life â€“ thatâ€™s the only thing they know â€“ home work work home â€“ yikes its so scary â€“ there is a lot of different things u can do â€“ hobbies that you can take up n hell go travel

the number of ppl who burn of their holidays doing nothing is so freaking sad – n thats where u get the weird bosses who think sundays are for extra meetings – nutz i tell ya – u dont have a life dont go around spoilling others

I work to travel my friends claim im always planning the next trip â€“ which is pretty true thatâ€™s the only motivation for me to wake up in the morning n head to work

Not that I donâ€™t love the job â€“ but I love the traveling part more

Work to live is the motto i go by! Not the other way around. but if you have satisfaction from your work most of the time then at least you are one way better than most. (guess who works for the governement!)
