Why Do People Work?
In the world, there are numerous workers who work hard in various fields. Then, why do those workers work? Why do teachers teach students? Why do scientists experiment? Why do firefighters extinguish a fire with a fire hose? In my opinion, there are three main reasons for working; for myself, for other people around us and for the better world.
First, some people work for themselves; for their self-realization and wellbeing. For example in aspect of self-realization, a movie director wants to be the best movie director in the world. The best movie director is the person who he really wants to be. So, having a purpose to be the best director, he decides to make the best movie in the world. To achieve this purpose, the director works much hard. People work for becoming someone who they want to be. Also, people work for their wellbeing. We are generally rewarded for our working. This salary is necessary to enrich our life. Most people want to eat good food, live in comfortable house and do their hobby freely. So they work for improving the quality of their lives.
Second, another people work for others around them, especially family. My mother said that all the people cannot do their favorite things for themselves. My mother wanted to be a painter, but now works in a company irrelative to art. A painter is a hard job to succeed and commonly earns money unstably. So it is difficult to take care of old parents and little children, as a painter. For this reason, my mother gave up her dream. Like this, others' wellbeing can be one of the reasons for working.
Lastly, someone works hard for changing a world. Some people might find flaws and problems of his or her society, living in there. Those people want to solve problems in the world and make the world more positive. For instance, an architect had concern about a weak construction and collapse accident in her society. She wanted to change the world safer. So she works hard for constructing much solider buildings than before. This hard worker contributed to change the world better.
All the workers have their own purposes of working. Someone works for their self-realization and rich life. Another workers perform their duty to take care of their family. And the others work hard to making the better world. This sense of purpose can make worker harder working and affect on the world positively.
