Do you feel that you have to work hard and be miserable now in order to be happy later? A lot of people work for their kids' education, for daily living and for the future- old age. People work hard so they have something to spend on their retirement years (of course, there is pension and other benefits). But we need to balance things and enjoy every moment that we have. Working should not be viewed as a burden. There are problems but we have to find happiness in what we do. Enjoying life and at the same time preparing for the future.

I think whatever we done. Satisfaction is the most impotant thing that we really need.

Yes, I agree with you. Work and happy in the same period. Of course don't forget to save money. What's the point of hard work and then a prolonged sick? When enjoying the happiness?

I'm working very hard but I don't see it as a burden. I stopped doing all the jobs I don't like, and started doing the ones I do like. You can never be happy if you feel that working is a burden. You must view it more as a diversion from boredom; life would be senseless and boring if you didn't have work to do.
