People work because they need money

[vanilavarya]

People work because they need money to live. what are some other reasons that people work.

 

On the face of it, it looks like people seem to work only for money. We keep talking about insurance, buying automobile, house etc, so we assume we work for money. Who doesn’t want a house, car, good clothes etc. all these can be possible only with money.but I think money is only a major part of it.

 

 

We work for a lot of other reasons; experience, kill time, exercise, knowledge, power, self-expression the list is long. Its hard to believe a scientist to work just for money, he cannot contain his innovative brain to stop working just because there is no money involved, or an artist, writer etc.

 

Firstly, what ever be the reason human being cannot live without doing some kind of

 

work. It is hard to believe people not being motivated to do some kind of work. During the early age, man worked or rather hunted only for food, later on slowly he started getting new ideas, methods and reasons to work. The reason was money, enjoyment, power or plain boredom. Some people work even after retiring from active service, even though they are not paid well as they do not want to miss out on the exercise, the activity associated with doing work. People want to age gracefully; the only way is to keep working, even if the only benefit is being active.

 

While most of them work for money, there are many who work because they enjoy working. Few people though, work to serve people with handicaps, physical, mental or disease that render them immobile. For example Mother Teresa, who dedicated her entire life to care for the sick people in Calcutta, never did it for money. There are many others

who do voluntary services in hospitals, schools and other charity organizations. They are not paid for these services, they do it because they like helping out.

 

To sum up I strongly believe that people do not necessarily work only for money. It is one of the reasons in some cases the only reason.
