Work and Amusement....

Many a times people ask me a question that do I really feel
being paid enough for work that I do. Different people may have
Different opinions and views .Some technocrats with some surveys
with some market research and prolonged number crunching will
tell you where your company stands in global pay-roll for same skill
set that you do have .In today’s materialistic world it is oblivious
that everybody uses same yard-stick of amount of money to conclude
good’work”or good “job”
I remember story of Mark Twin, who portrays a small boy
Called Tom Sawyer .This little intelligent boy gets a punishment of
Coloring all fence wall on his school holiday by his Aunty. He manages
To do this work by his small friends by fooling then as painting a fence wall
is altogether interesting work. His small friend enchanted by his moves
And boasting get absorbed and find really painting work interesting .Little
More to this Tom receives some rewards for letting him paint the fence wall.
He trades this opportunity to with his entire fellow friend and earns some good
fortune. Moral of story is that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do,and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. And
this would help him to understand why constructing artificial flowers
or performing on a tread-mill is work, while rolling ten-pins or
climbing Mont Blanc is only amusement.
