About This Quote

According to the dictionary, work is defined as “to do or perform some task or duties.” Now, if you would rather be doing something else, then it isn’t really work.Work is a place where you are forced to do certain tasks that are not enjoyable. When work no longer represents something that you would rather be doing, then it is no longer considered work. It is simply a job that you have to get done.
