别自毁幸福-别只为了钱而工作

 Working for nothing more than a paycheck.

 

只为了钱而工作

 

Work without interest is imprisonment¹. Even if you aren't super-passionate about your work, you've got to at least be interested in it. When you design a lifestyle in which your work is something you suffer through daily strictly² to pay your bills, you end up spending your entire life wishing you had someone else's.

 

 

Think about it. This is your life; your work will fill a large percentage of it. It's not all about the money; it's about you.When the essence of who you are defines at least some slice of the work you do for a living, that work generates fulfillment.

 

Interest in your work putsquality in your output and happiness in your mind. Don't settle for a paycheck.Shuffle³ around until you find work that interests you.
