We say we have 40-hours-per-week jobs.  But how many of us spend much more time than that at the office — and even more hours either working at home or (at least) thinking about work? 

So work is a whole lot more than a place we go from 8:00 to 5:00.  It’s a huge commitment. 

So why do we work?

• To earn a living?
• To get rich?
• To help others?
• To travel?
• To become famous?
• To develop skills?
• To learn new things?
• To make the world a better place?

I say “yes” to nearly all of those.  Do you have anything to add to the list?
