Work to life or life to work ,this is a problem.What do you think of it? Different people have different ideas. In my opinion,I think work is equal to life.There are so many people that live in poverty.They have to try their best to work for survival or having a better life. As in developed countries,they have many slummers,without reference to developing countries.Apropos of these persons who have enough money and are not worrying about their daily life ,like Bill,they also have to work and do things for many kinds of reasons.For instance,helping others,charity,and so on.So that work is equal to life.

I believe it is different for each person, depends on what their ambitions and drive and in alot of cases what their generation is. My dad believes you live to work, you have a career and stick with it and do anything else around it basically. Where I am complete opposite, Work to live the whole hog! BUT if in the mean time You find a job doing something which really makes you happy and content then you can surely be both?

Yeah unfortunatley such jobs are few and far between - But while I at present moment am unemployed and havent got a clue what to do next (just know what i DON'T want to do) I am forfilling one (well two) of my work related happiness by volunteering with RSPCA.. It's amazing! If you love something enough - and can spare a little time volunteering is deffinitly the best reward!

Yes,mostly we just know what we don't want to do but what we want.It is confusing and ridiculous, i think.Congratulate to your interesting job. Have a nice day.

work can ensure the ongoing of our life and also make our life more meaningful. most of us have to work otherwise we have no money to support ourselves and our family. though sometimes we complain about our work, we cannot deny the pleasure our work brings to us. life can be regarded as motivation to work. in order to enjoy life we have to work harder.

I think we work to life , if we do not work then we can't support our family , and we just have no qualification to talk about life . Life depends on work , but work is not all , work is a subset of life , and we just work to hold our life . That's my opinion , happy mylotting !

Thank you very much for your opinion.It seems that you are a responsible person.To a certain extent, I think you are right. Work is part of our life,and we just work to hold our life.But in my mind, work have many means,it is not only one action or a word. In any case,we all have to work,to life.
