We don't enjoy our work, only our leisure?How far do you agree?

Question

Please provide details

Answer 1

Oh, no, if you find the right work, it's so satisfying that you feel like it's leisure. I was just reading in an old Premeire magazine about an actor who felt like acting was just like making mud pies -- easy and satisfying.

And I think this goes for anyone -- even an accountant who is really in the groove gets a big rush out of making things come out right. You need to have the right personality for your job.

Even in leisure, you need to work at it to get the big satisfaction. Is basketball much fun if you suck at it? But if you practice, get good enough you can make some baskets and help your team, it's a lot of fun. But it's also a lot of work!

If you listen to music for fun, that's OK and relaxing -- but it's more fun when you pay attention, compare it to other songs, sing along -- again, kind of work, but you get more satisfaction out of it.

I would say you can only find true enjoyment through work. It's just finding the right match for you.

Answer 2

Even one should learn from the nursery rhyme that work while you work and plaly while you play.....and whatever you do, do with your mind, things done by half are never done right. So, if we want to be the right person at the right place, then we should mind about what we put into the hours and not what hours we put in for a real satisfaction. Leisure is essential for you get the required state of mind, for you to rejuvenate and put your best agian.

Answer 3

I agree that we enjoy leisure to such an extent it becomes the nature of our work, if we do not enjoy work, what is the point of doing anything you do not enjoy ?

Answer 4

If one does what they enjoy for work ,they will enjoy their work. I LOVE my work. Still I covet and appreciate my "off" time. I wish the same for you.
