Do you like to work like a horse?

There are people who like to work like a horse. It seems there is no tomorrow. Those who work in haste have their work done with multiple mistakes. Others work fast and furious to get work done early without analyzing how their actions harm their health. And then at the end of the day, they feel so tired. Is it good? No, of course. And if you are at home, chores are also like forever, repeated work daily

that is why, I do not like my sister waking up at dawn to water her plants because, at the end of the watering sessions, she complains about her aching arthritis.

. Do you like to work like a horse? I do work like a horse when the due date is nearer. Thank you for reading, sharing is caring.

No, because I don't have a strong body like a horse.

I always work like a horse because I want to have everything done before the end of the day.

@cacay1 - I always had to do things "immediately" when we worked, because timing was important.

@LadyDuck agree with you especially if you are working in a very big office or company.

@LadyDuck, I understand that if you are assigned in the office there will be lots of things to do and must be done before the end of the day comes.

I used to when I was younger, thinking that by working so hard this way I will be promoted, recognized, and appreciated. Big nope. I have learned to work smarter and spend more time on things that really matter. Work is important, as we need to make a living, but not as important as to miss any time with loved ones.

@cacay1 I ended up advancing in my career after that, which is alright. We all have our own timing and I learned a lot of valuable lesson from when they can still "bully" me.

@Raine38 , bullies are losers, they envied you which is why they bullied you.

@Raine38 , that was so bad you were not promoted despite you work like a horse. It will be better if we only work according to what is assigned to us so we can always bond with our family.

@cacay1 lt was the kind of job l did. When you work in the media you can be called upon day or night to cover breaking stories and your presence is also required in the office.

I did due to circumstances beyond control. However more mistakes were incurred. In haste, there's waste.
