A job is not only... a jobIf it is not only…a job, then what is it? A job (or work) is a set of behaviors that people display when they activate their minds into a work way of thinking. Work is undertaken for two main reasons. Firstly, to earn money to buy food, clothing, provide medical care, education, pay the bills, pay rent, pay for a mortgage, car, investments, holiday and so on. This is the money side of work. Some people have a lot of items that they want, which goes way beyond what they actually need for usual living. You could say that their desires are operating in 'overdrive' with a 'wish list' of wants that is out of proportion with their ability to deliver those wants. When this happens, a gap occurs which is unfulfilled wants. If someone wants something badly enough and cannot have it, negative feelings disappointment, failure and despair are created. The curbing of these wants is the responsibility of each of us with some individuals being more effective than others in deciding what they think they want. The second reason people work is for social interaction with other people on a regular basis. By conversing and sharing points of view and experiences with each other, employees create and maintain a social network outside of their homes. Friendships develop, work relationships are built and the possibilities for productive work are created. People work best when they are happy in their work environment and are working with a group of people that they feel comfortable with. Work also gives them another link into the outside world in addition to their family and friends. More about team building…
