Lea atentamente el siguiente texto.
Long time ago our ancestors used not more than five hours a day on what we now call
"work": gathering food, building houses, making clothes and tools. The rest of the day
they talked, rested and danced! What a contrast compared to the every day life of
19th century factory-worker. They worked six days a week and twelve hours a day!
Work as a curse
Most cultures consider work as a curse to be avoided as much as possiblel
There is something strange about work. Consider these thoughts. If we didn't care
about luxury cars and beautiful houses, we wouldn't need to work so hard, but just
because we have so many materials goals, it takes a lot of working hours to
obtain them. To meet our climbing expectations, we must work harder, physically and
mentally and use more and more natural resources,
Work as pleasure
Still work does not need to be unpleasant. Working can be tough, but a change in
attitude could help change our feelings about work. Some people can enjoy their work
and it becomes the best part of their life.
Scientists in Italy have studied traditional communities living in the Alps. These
mountain people are happy people. Why? Because they don't make the difference
between work and spare time. Life is not easy in these mountains, but the people in
these villages do not experience their heavy work as a burden. They feel free in their
work. They can do what they want, they don't have a boss telling them what to do.
Even if you work in a dark and dirty factory, you can enjoy your work. How? By trying
to manipulate and transform the opportunities that the job offers. For example,
try keeping good relationships with the people you work. Also, try to see what you
can change in the place. Make it a better place. Introduce some objects you like:
calendar with a nice landscape, a family portrait, hang some posters on the wall, and/
or have a plant to cheer you upl These objects will put you in contact with positive
feelings. Little things make the difference between happy and unhappy people in their
jobs.
If you use your mental energy to visualize work as pleasure concentrating on positive
aspects, you will find out that you too are able to lose yourself in your job (you feel
part of a flow, you forget time) and you will experience your work as a result of a free
choice.
