More and more people attempt to find the equilibrium between family and working especially when they get married. However, I thought there are many benefits to devoting yourself to work even when you are married and have a family. It is a great chance to build your social network wider and wider, helps to achieve personal goals and can improve the quality of life not only for yourself but also for the whole family.
Social networking can make function when you lose your job or not satisfied with the job right now. When you on the position of working, you will need to contact and meet with different people based on like collaborative project, business negotiations, contract conclusions or placing production orders. From these chances, you may make friends with each other and not only working relationship. Along with the longer working experience you have, the wider social networking you would build. However, what’s the benefit from social networking? For example, when you get fired from your boss, the first thing you have to do is not begin reading help wanted ads in the newspaper. Instead, you can call some of people who are in your social networking list and ask them whether can get helped. Besides, if you are not satisfied with your current job as the reason of low salary, long working time, large amount of work or whatever, your friends through your social networking can also provide you some new chances and recommend you to other company in the same area of yours which can let you faster familiar with the work.
There is another reason that people like to spend time on work. There are some people who work not for money, not for the material life but because working helps them to achieve their personal goals. For them, work is a natural necessity that has nothing to do with either morals or money. A good example of someone who could not live without working was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the great Viennese musician and composer. He could not live without creating music. Losing himself in music, his passion, gave him meaning in life.
Nowadays, people are more likely to pursue quality of life instead of life with just enough food and clothing. I believe money is an important part for quality life, and how do we make money? The answer is work. If you have a high position of work, you will definitely earn a high salary and you can enjoy life in special ways because of your earnings. Travelling is a good way to annotate this idea as you can afford to plan a fantastic trip with your family which provides a five-star hotel and dining in fancy restaurants, or you can join in the luxurious cruise trip to start a particular vacation. Furthermore, if you have a good job and earn a high salary, you are qualified for a loan from the bank and can buy a high-quality house. I believe that buying a house is actually buy life happiness. Living in a comfortable environment and atmosphere is a high quality guarantee. Besides, a good living environment is an affected major for children. The environment a child is raised in plays huge roles in determining how smart and socially adept he or she will be. In a good community, your neighborhoods are friendly and obliging and your children can play with their children together, children are able to study in a better school to get better education and the social environment is safe as well.
People devote themselves to work because they have good prospects of gain. Some people want to forget worries by riveting attention, some people persist in live on dream or personal goals and some people for the purpose of improve quality of life. Whatever they pursue, they earn benefits from work.
I feel lucky and blessed that my work is mostly what I like to do for fun: read, write, and think. Now if I could get paid to workout (maybe teach some class?) I’d have it all figured out.
