Hervorragendes Video!👌👌
I no longer dream of labor. Looking at the big picture, I just want to be financially secure, healthy and have nice travels. Everything else is gravy.
Great video, so true! Thank you for talking about this topic.
Wow this timing. As I was just thinking about what my high school teachers would think if they saw me doing the job I do, which at that moment was scooping asphalt off of a hot table into a paper bag….
Even people who absolutely love their careers and have what seem like the most fascinating jobs on Earth have days where they just don’t want to do them. No matter where you are in life it’s possible to get in a rut that tanks your happiness and motivation. Which is why I agree with the video that hobbies are absolutely essential for people. They provide ways to relax, grow, learn, and experiment without any pressure and expectation to be good at it or even get better.
I recently took a one-day pottery class where we were making little bowls. I listened intently to the directions but I still messed up pretty much every step in some way. Towards the end we were supposed to gently pinch our fingers so we could raise the sides of the bowl, but I pinched too hard and took the top half of my bowl clean off and had no time to fix it. So while most everyone else in the class had bowls you could maybe eat cereal out of mine was good maybe for a spot of tea. And I didn’t care because the class was fun and that’s all it had to be.
*bowl
Please dont eat anything out of a bowel.
@@BaglessUpright I realized I had done this right before your comment and edited accordingly, but I am leaving the record here as evidence that my coffee was not working yet. XP
I’ve had to turn down a few opportunities this year because the work/life balance was terrible. Im nowhere near “well off”, but I value being able to enjoy who I am working with, having time to myself after a long day, unlimited PTO (finally have it) and full benefits. Being on-call 24-7 and having 100+reports is not worth any amount of money to me anymore. I just scaled down some of my wants to balance to where I am financially. Keeping up with the Joneses really forces you to live a hustle lifestyle that is not appealing to me at all.
I’m 32 and my dream job has changed wildly from what I believed was my dream job in college was because I’ve realized that the older I get, the more I value time with my family.
Some good points here.
I’ve known people who quit jobs as soon as they have a bad day, or plan on switching jobs when they realize their current job isnt fun fun FUN every second of the workday. They like to characteruze it as “having strong boundaries”, but honestly those people are thin-skinned and self-indulgent. It’s childish and not beneficial to expect work to be all fun, no stress. That kind of job doesn’t exist.
Time stamps
3:21 The boredom is bearable
5:04 It allows you to be appropiately emotioanlly invested
6:35 It allows you to widen the gap between earning and spending
7:40 You have energy and time for your passions
I’m 32 working a dead end job that’s laid me off before and brought me back. I’ve also been in college for a year and I plan on making a career pivot which will possibly require taking a pay cut sadly
