JOBS
Most people in modern society spend more than eight hours a day working. Some are successful in their jobs, but many more are under great stress. Workers are classified into two groups. Self- employed and employees. An interesting fact is that the self employed envy the employees and vice versa. The reason? People tend to exaggerate the others’ benefits that they don’t have.
Businessmen seem to have greater satisfaction from their jobs than ordinary workers do. They have the power to decide things by themselves. That’s why ordinary workers are envious of them. But businessmen must take responsibility for their decisions and if something goes wrong they could go bankrupt.
Every employee has a certain job responsibility, and if he does what he is expected to he is usually exempt from bad consequences. He has a stable position. A competent worker may enjoy many promotions and raises, but still be at the mercy of the manipulations of corporate executives.
Who is happier is not the question. The important thing is that people must decide which category they should belong in by evaluating themselves honestly.
