Do you work to live? Or live to work?
Do you only work to earn money or is your wife your job.? |

I strongly agree that we don't live to work. I believe that we have a far greater purpose than that. And yes we work to live! :-)

It really depends on the person. If you really love your job wouldn't you say you live to work?

Since I'm a student at the moment, I'm not working to live nor am I living to work, I just want to build some money so that I can buy myself a new PC with my own money and not by wasting my parent's money. I also want to familiarize myself with IM and other internet money making methods so that when the time comes, I can run a successful online affiliate business or just a good online income stream to complement my job's earnings.
![]() But I think I'd be living to work, because its so boring if you don't have anything to do! |
|
Like the way I write??
PM me if you need any writing to be done!! And since I say 'anything' I mean 'anything'!! Form Blogging, to forum posting, to article writing to what-not, I'll be glad to help!!! And since I'm new, I suggest you begin with asking me to write stuff that's not very important, in case I screw up!!! :) |

I work to live.
It always remmember in my mind to do helps others is also a great job to do. But in this era of money, relations are lossing their strength and power. |

I heard a motivational speaker named john demartini talk about how when he takes vacations he does the same thing as when he is working....
That to me, signifies a guy who loves his work...... I have posted a video of him below as I think he can add some value to this thread. his mentality can be inspirational to many... |

I think a little of both - yes it is possible.
While I in theory work to pay bills, etc. I also am very passionate about my area of work and it provides me true satisfaction to do what I do. So, as I said, a bit of both. Very comfortable combination. |

Same here, i "work to live", enough earnings to support my kids future. But needless to say "live to work" is not that bad, for some people have done it. It depends upon the persons goal in life.

Basically, I work in order to live. That is the common goal that each person has. In this life, we are all struggling to earn money and live a good life.

I work to live, and I'm living to work. I LOVE writing humor. I love entertaining people and making them laugh and think. Getting paid to tell jokes is like being a voice actor for cartoons-it's surreal to think about, yet loads of fun and worthwhile. My advice is to learn how to do both, however possible.

Very tricky ?? but if U go deeper it's just like ,Are U here to eat to live or live to eat?
So??Work to live, mean u need to choose the work that can make your inner spirit happy too so you will live happily inside & out. As what most people answeed they work for thier family meaning love to our family, but if that work can make u sick how can u serve your family later then? It will end up into a turmoil when u become a liability oneday because of doing work that can make you sick. Same with choosing to eat to live between live to eat, if U want to live long with grace then u need to take ownership of what U feed to your cells, whatever is the outcome that's the result of how u treat them. |

Both are correct , we must have a goal in our life to live for and we must work to be able to maintain the needed facilities.The perfect thing is to work what you love , in this case you will achive the both in one time , you will work to live and live to work.

I like activity and work, even when im still I like to have some sort of play in the process. I work to live right now, and I know I live to work. mm the struggle, and increasings. Inching like the tree, only as strong as my inviroment.
heres a thought that visited yesterday. IM is a pipe dream. Is not every tree a pipe dream? How many pipe dreams that grow out of me will fruit? |

Great question to ponder, of course we all work to support our families and provide the very best we can for them, but if we are able to provide great value to the lives of others in our efforts as IM marketers, then there is a side effect which then makes it enjoyable for us to live to work.

If you live to work, is that really living? It seems that most warriors work to be able live the life they want which is what I do. But it also depends what you mean by work. I only regard something as work if it's tedious or unpleasant or whatever, so I aim to make enough money to be able to pay people to do that sort of thing so that I can do what I am genuinely interested in and can make money out of at the same time. When I was younger, I spent a couple of months training to be an insurance salesman. All the time I was training, I knew I didn't like it and I didn't really want to do it long term even if I did earn the big money they told me I could and I didn't even like the people who were training me but I kept at it for some stupid reason until I finally learnt that I was never going to do that again and that from then on I was going to design my own careers to fit my personality not those of others who just wanted me to earn money for them.
I think I was lucky to experience this when I was younger because insurance seems to be an area which just doesn't suit me with all the negative emphasis on what disasters are just waiting round the corner to make your life permanently miserable! (Apologies to Insurance people - I'm just expressing my own personal experiences!) |

Working and living should not be distinguishable. You have to love what you are doing or you will NEVER make the kind of money that you truly desire and I mean never. Its only when you feel good that the universe is truly kind to you. Working is living and should not even be seen as working as working implies effort, effort leads to burnout. Flowing leads to money.

I think the key is in one word - LOVE.
We all strive to have better life. But, to accomplish that we have to work and we have to work hard. Now, it could be joy - if you love your work, or it could pain - if you`re not loving it. That`s why it is crucial to choose a job which one likes. By loving your work, you`ll have a life to love. |

When I was still a kid, I live to work. But when I already started working in order to make money, I now work to live. I have to work in order to live. So as to pull through day by day. Life's so harsh, you have to work in order to live these days. If you have no money, you can't even eat. What a harsh reality.

I definitely live to work. There is something very satisfying in working your tail off, feeling productive, seeing results, and feeling like you contributed something to society.
I could never NOT work. Even if I had millions of dollars and could retire tomorrow, I would still find something to work on. Of course, I also have to work to live, just like everybody else. |
