Love Thy Work ??

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love thy Work- Not less than often i have come across this phrase. I was reading a speech by one of our great leader. As per his speech, even if you are digging the ground, you should love doing that and put your best effort. Putting best effort i can understand but i differ with the stance he has taken about loving the job. These statement are good to make an impressive public speech or to lead a large mob of people who are confused and looking for direction.

i dont know whether i am qualified enough to make this statement but i believe that an ambitious and creative person cannot lead a happy and satisfied life doing the same type of mundane job throughout his life. Someone who is ambitious and want to make it big will always be willing to think out of the box and desperately seek change. When i am saying change, i mean growing up while doing your work. To grow and improve you do not always need to change your job or profile. you can do that in the same job as well ( people can differ from my stand).

Ultimately, i would like to suggest that instead of loving the job you should love the opportunity it provides. the moment you are emotionally attched to your job, office, colleagues, clients, ambience, perks etc. , you are trapped in a cell and it can restrict your growth. Can anyone love digging the ground or cleaning the gutter? i dont think anyone can provided he gets an opportunity for something better or the promise to lead a better life. If this digging job feeds his family and pay for his kid's school fee then he can feel motivated to perform a good job as this job is shaping his children future. IT is the opportunity which makes difference to anyone's life and one shud be smart enough to see it coming.
