Work Is The Answer

I work a long day because it feels good to me, and I do that no matter what my job is.
RACHAEL RAY

Everybody has problems. Not all problems are caused by laziness. But all solutions come from work. Even the person stricken by cancer can only hope a hard working doctor finds the cure.

Work is the answer. Are you unemployed? Work at finding a job. Devote 10 hours a day to finding a job. You will find a job.

There are no tricks in life. There are more efficient ways to do something, but these ways are found through work. Ultimately, all learning comes from doing.

I see work as a panacea. People may disagree, but I must ask a question. What is the alternative? What else can you do? No one can answer this. It all goes back to work.

People don't see work as the solution. They see work as the problem. We have politicians and MBAs to thank for this. The answer must lie in some neat, undiscovered trick. For the politicians, it is all about tweaking the policy. The right tweak will make all problems disappear. Similarly, MBAs engage in tomfuckery with the numbers as if production and wealth came from something other than hard work.

We are told to work smarter not harder. The irony is that the people who toss that line out are some really lazy fuckers. Their answer usually involves finding some other sucker to do the work for them. "Work smarter" is simply a euphemism for fucking someone over.

I wish work was always pleasant, but it isn't. Sometimes, you have to grunt and struggle and endure. But work is always fun. ALWAYS. It is people's thinking about work that makes it intolerable. Change that thinking, and your whole life will change. Do you see Rachael Ray frowning?
