Topic for Discussion: Is it cruel to suggest that work should be play?

Answer: No. If your work is not your play you won't be very good at it. If you watch the clock, you need to quit doing what you're doing now. No one has ever achieved financial success -- if they started with nothing -- by working 8-5. Then the flip side is, when a person feels like they are playing while they are working, they become so good at their work that they will become successful in the way they choose to be. If the person is in business, they will become wealthy. If the person is a teacher, his or her students will be on the way to the Ivy League.

You think about it: Is your work your play? Could it be with a slight attidute adjustment? Do your loved ones complain that you work too many hours? Do you believe like we do that everyone is doing what they would rather do than not do? What would you rather be doing with your life right now?
