There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone--many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long. Not for nothing is their motto TGIF -- 'Thank God It's Friday.' They live for the weekends, when they can go do what they really want to do. Richard N. Bolles
About This Quote

Having a job that you don't like is one of the most common reasons for depression. It can be hard to feel motivated to get out of bed and do something you don't want to do. However, when you find an interesting job that is helping people or solving a problem, you will feel like you are giving back and doing something important in the world. It will make you and your work more valuable and important than it was before. You can also feel like you are contributing to something bigger than yourself, which is a feeling many people only dream about having.
