Work to live or live to work?

Nowadays, the human being is living in the industrialization era. With the rapidly developing of
the world, people now stuck with the choice between living to work or working to live. This
article will provide the reader both definition of what “live to work” and “work to live” mean,
and finally is my personal decision about this topic.

In my point of view, “Live to work” refer to a kind of person who is addicted and obsessed with
working, others called – the workaholic. It means “job” is the main and only goal that they
want to achieve in future. In addition, the workaholic always expects the job to be 100%
perfect, quick completion and high efficiency as possible. Consequently, the workaholic
pushing themselves to the limits of overwork and become the victims of depression, The
question is “Can you endure the boring work you are doing by sitting in a paperweight or
counting a list of the number which you hated so much?”. In real life, many people’s daily work
repeats for hours and have no excitement. Of course, no one can blame them, because it is the
work the have to do to survive in society.

“Work to live” for several people including myself seemed to believe that is the easiest way to
pursue passions which people willing to sacrifice one thing you have to get more just because
you desire to get it. For example, if it’s up to me: I could proud of a low paid job and stay in my
hometown just because I volunteer for it. And would not let anything confined my way. For
these reasons, I definitely choose “Work to live” to become my goal in the future. Follow the
heart to be succeeded.

To sum up, these are two completely different lifestyles. And for each person, their definition
changes and is determined by its owner. For me, as mentioned above. In the case of having to
choose one between two, I would ready to give up a boring job and find another one that
really suits me. Due to I always cheerful and proud to think of it.
 Realmente somos adictos al trabajo?

En la actualidad, estamos viviendo en la era de industrialización; un constante Desarrollo,

donde tenemos que elegir entre vivir para trabajar o trabajar para vivir.

Desde mi punto de vista, parece que prevalece el trabajo y que todos los problemas se
encuentran en torno a él. En otras palabras, que se vive por el trabajo, en lugar de trabajar
para vivir.

La adicción al trabajo es una realidad, este problema convierte en un foco de estrés y

desequilibro mental que nos afecta de manera insconciente; mas tarde, se ve reflejando en
nuestra salud.

¿trabajar desde casa provoca más estrés en tu familia?

1) Por consecuente, es importante pasar suficiente tiempo libre para relacionarnos con
nuestro entorno social que es un gran aliado en esta situación. Por ejemplo, el realizar
actividad física porque nos da sensacion de bienestar y paz a nuestro cuerpo; reduce la
ansiedad y el estrés; nos enfoca en pensamientos de temas diferentes y es un metodo
eficaz para combatir la depression y confianza en uno mismo.

2) Sin embargo conseguir este tiempo libre es complicado¸de manera que “estamos
obligados” estar disponible para el trabajo; a lo que me refiero, es que tratamos que
conseguir ser perfecionista, rapido y eficiente sin tener en cuenta el tiempo que
conlleva conviertiendonos en adictos al trabajo. Por ejemplo, mi caso; la ultima de
setiembre llegue a trabajar casi 50 horas faltando a diferentes actividades que afectan
mi vida personal. En los ultimos años, esta actividad se esta volviendo muy frecuente.

3) Y por ultimo, debido a la pandemia, trabajar desde casa es cada vez mas frecuente
pero no en mi caso aunque podria.
