A life with a job and just all around it

I am sitting in office and I just cannot stop thinking...

At the end of the day, if i did not have a lure of a position of becoming a Managing Director of some company or a partner in a consulting company, would everyday be as interesting and charged up. If all of us were not in this corporate race, would life be as satisfying.

I was looking out for a job till last month and the criteria was never money. Strange as it may sound, it is true. But then I spend 8 hours of work, 2 hours of travelling and another 2 hours of thinking about work. Of the 16 hrs of awake time, I spend 12 hours at work. With the other 4 hours, I manage my daily life. Wasn't that supposed to be equally or more important! So when work is forming so much a matter of our existence, what would life be bereft of it or any motivation in it.


Its funny. And then u wonder, if I spend so much time working, how do i commend myself at it. Obviously, with the amount of money I make and the position I role play. So how could money not count for me. But it doesn't as of now. I am 32, have spent so much time working for the fun of it, for what i like doing, but imagine 12 hrs per day for 8 years, and not being bothered about money. And when life paces up, age catches on, I would want the same money. When other distractions of dresses, shoes , cosmetics, fade away, and it becomes only about security....


Different stages in life, different needs and different aspirations. Just thinking .....
