[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I've never understood the notion of working for fulfillment.

I work to earn my leisure time.

Possible exception is being your own boss. But working for someone else as a form of purpose and fulfillment is really idiotic.

It's weird around here how people define themselves by what they do. [/quote]

I work for fulfillment. It's the best use of the time and talents I've been given. My kids don't need me at home, my parents are healthy. I studied for years to be able to do my work. My whole life should just be about leisure time and not purpose?[/quote]

Not necessarily things that don't go together. Some people find their purpose from their commitments and pursuits outside work.

Probably a little of both is the best balance we can all hope for when you think about it. I do get the sentiment that PP has posted though in some ways that we do a disservice to younger generations in focusing their minds to think about passion/ ultimate fulfillment/ identity from their career and that the rest is just frivolous. Its not a realistic goal for most and for many maybe it shouldn't be. I mean its set as a satirical piece but a lot of it is actually pretty serious and advice that no one is getting but maybe should: http://www.theonion.com/blogpost/find-the-thing-youre-most-passionate-about-then-do-31742[/quote]
