work blog | work for what?

I rubbed my eyes and felt that my eyes were dry and the itching symptoms appeared again. I took out eye drops and put a few drops in my eyes, hoping to relieve the discomfort.

I originally wanted to close my eyes and rest, but reality wouldn't allow me to do that, so I obediently turned my eyes to the computer screen again, and in less than 5 minutes, there were many more submissions from reporters in the system. I have been a news editor for more than seven years. Of course, my job is to revise the manuscripts of reporters, but in the past year or two, I have to be responsible for other minor review work due to the lack of manpower. .

When I clicked on one of the reporter's articles, I saw a message popped up on my phone. It was from my friend Xiao Yang. I clicked it and read: "I don't want to go to work!"

I don't know how many times Xiao Yang has sent me such messages. I don't hate it, but I understand his negative emotions. His current job is not what he likes, let alone the field he is good at, so it makes him feel very frustrated.

I still responded to him with the same sentence: "You should resign quickly and stop torturing yourself."

He always responds to me: "I want to! I want to! But it's not easy to find a job now. Let's see in a few more months."

His "I'm working on it for a few months and see." It's been almost a year since I watched it. No wonder people say that people who keep shouting to resign don't really want to resign, they just complain. I used to be unhappy at the old company for a period of time, and I kept calling for my resignation, but I never succeeded.

Xiao Yang has asked me many times if I like my current job? Do you have a sense of achievement?

To be honest, I love word work and I love typography. I always thought that I was lucky to be able to do work related to my interests. But I can't deny that I have started to neglect my work now. There are too many extra jobs, and my current position is not my typesetting work. I've been correcting other people's mistakes, so I have a lot of resistance.

Although I like it, I have never felt that working in the media is to realize a dream or achieve any ideal goal. I have always been an unambitious person, why do I keep doing it, just for a good salary!

Honestly, working for the money! How it will develop in the future, just let it be! The job that feeds me and my family is most important.

Kotsuko Nakamura, author of "The World Worth" said: "I think that is the primary purpose of work to support myself and to support my family."

As Nakamura Tetsuko said, for me, if my work can’t support myself and my family, I’m a very realistic person. If my current job is no longer enough to support my life, it’s time to change jobs!
