If work is the greatest thing on Earth ... you should try Mars!
Steve Jobs once said ...
Why is it that most of us spend best part of our life to prepare ourselves to become marketable commodities and then spend the rest of our lives as tools in the big machine !!
Why is Indian retirement age is just few years short of the average life expectancy of an Indian adult?
How many of us are introducing ourselves to others not with our work titles?
Like instead of saying .. 'I am an additional secretary of the government of India' or 'I am a doctor' or 'I am a professor' .... how many of us actually say - "I love photography/painting/poetry/cooking but my day job is in the government or medical field" ... and so on ?
If your work title is your greatest achievement in your life and you are a 'nobody' retired few years before you are going to die ... then you have a big problem!
Does not matter if you are a theist or atheist or agnostic person .. all you know is that you are having one life and just one life in front of you and NO you are not a milk carton in a supermarket that has a guaranteed expiry date.
Get out of your comfort zone and try to find the true purpose of your journey while you are stationed on this tiny spec of land mass called 'The Earth' that revolves around an average star in the far corners of a normal sized galaxy in this gigantic universe.
God speed !!
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it."Then again... how many of us are truly inspired to be what all we can be in our life !
