BENEFITS OF WORKING IN OUR SOCIETY  - PART 1

1. To earn a living

We work to be paid, we get paid in order for us to meet our needs. We all have needs to be met and most of them can be done with money. The wages and salaries we get from our work helps us to get money to buy food, pay children’s school fees etc

 

2. Increase our wealth

Wealth brings comfort in life. Wealth is a very large amount of money and possessions. When we work hard, we increase our wealth. Some people have or do more than one job in order to get more money.

 

3. Work gives us purpose

If treated right, work is not only the source of money that it is made out to be. It is also the source of purpose is our lives. It allows us to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.

The purpose of life is to be happy, and one of the most important ways we can be happy is by doing meaningful work. When we do work, that in some way, makes the world a better place, we find that work meaningful and not drudgery.

 

4. Work provides a sense of identity

Human identity is closely intertwined with the work individuals choose to pursue. The occupation or career path one selects often becomes a significant part of how they define themselves.

The unique skills, expertise, and experiences gained through work shape a person’s identity and contribute to a sense of self-worth. Moreover, the sense of identity derived from work extends beyond personal growth; it enables individuals to communicate their values and aspirations to others. As people invest time and effort into a particular line of work, they cultivate a distinct perspective and set of values, which ultimately contribute to the mosaic of human diversity and culture.
