“If you don't love what you do, you won't do it with much conviction or passion.“ Mia Hamm

Those of us who love our work have it made for we have got it licked if we enjoy what we are doing. Work is not a burden but rather a delight. Trapped in a 9 to 5 day progression we are not. We look forward to going to work everyday.

Having responsibility is the key to being happy in the work force. For with responsibility we are subject to and responsible for our outcome in our field of work. If we have others working under us it is our responsibility to see they do their job right.

Of course many of us do not have an option to choose from i.e., we have families to support and we cannot be choosy in our field of work. However if we try to perform in an optimistic role than we can find our job a lot more tolerable especially with those we work with.

Our journey here on earth is a brief encounter with the unexplainable phenomenon all around us. To make sense of our existence as human beings is not only our task but also our duty. There is a God an all knowing and all loving God and a very difficult being to understand.

Therefore, as we go about our daily work we must remember to take an interest in our chosen profession no matter what it may be. A job well performed is a satisfaction we feel deep within our souls.



Our cities with skyscrapers reaching to the heavens were built with hard working hands. The material world we inhabit has all been produced by those who dared to do the impossible.

“By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." Genesis 3:19
