[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't have to be either or.

I did leisurely when I stayed home for 10 years with a full time nanny and full time housekeeper. Belonged to clubs, lunched with friends, worked out, got nails, hair, massage. Quality time with kids. It was great until my youngest moved up to elementary school. I was insanely bored and restless, and I felt useless.

Now, I am passionate about my work and the program I manage. I care about the project and the people I work with. Also, work provides endless opportunities to learn and improve, which I love. PP above described it well when you set a challenge, prepare, perform, evaluate. But there are also many day to day challenges and opportunities: for example to ideate, then gather research and information, and then synthesize it into next steps or innovation, then turn that into a plan of action.

Work also provides opportunities to improve myself in my interpersonal relationships, to be a person of integrity, to gain confidence and build relationships. For me it is a vehicle for inspiration and creativity and self-improvement and to exercise my curiosity. I really love it and wish this for my children and everyone else. [/quote]
