There are those who work so they can stop. Stopping is the why of work. There are those who stop so they can work. Working is the why of work.

About This Quote

Work is our God. Work is not just something that we do to earn money, but an activity that is sacred. Work is often done because it brings fulfillment and happiness to us, but what if work isn’t the reason for our happiness? A new study suggests that work can actually be very stressful and upsetting. Researchers at the University of Michigan found that work can be a source of stress.

They interviewed 208 adults between the ages of 18 and 75, and discovered that some people are more likely to experience stress at work than others. The study also suggests that those who are more prone to stress at work are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, depression, and anxiety.
