Some people think they work have to make a living.They say they envy people who don't have to work .They dream about a life of all play and no work ,a life of endless vacations and holidays.They look forward eagerly to their retirement, when they can enjoy the fruits of a lifetime's work without any toiling or sweating. Deep in our hearts,we all have this desire,though many of us may not be aware of it.

I am working because I want to retire hhehehe! The skills I am trying to learn from my current job are small steps to attain my ulitimate goal which is to start a business and retire. That's the reason why I take all the crap from work because I know that in the real world, once you get out of the company and deal with real customers (where you are the owner of your company), you will experience a lot worse that what you are dealing with right now (where you are just a pawn in the company). There's no such thing as people who dont have to work. Even the rich people work. The reason why their lives are glamorous is because they have created a system that allows them to do less physical work.

Ha,ha, I am working for making a living, I envy people who have a good salary, but I don't admire that people who don't work. Work could make a living, but is needed for us in the spirit. I could feel vacuous when I have not work.
