The light side or the dark side?
You know those DNA tests you can get? You spit into a little tube, pay your money, send it off to a lab in Scandinavia and 6 weeks later they tell you that you’re 87% North European, 16 % Latin American and the rest they’re not sure about.
Let’s say I sat you down for an hour, and we discussed what work means to you…
Then I sent the results off to my own version of a Scandinavian lab (my brain) and 6 minutes later told you my guess at how much you see work as a “good” thing and how much as a “bad” thing.
How would your results come out?
23% good, 69% bad and the rest not sure?
It’s worth thinking about, because “work” is guaranteed to be a part of all of our lives for the rest of our lives. Even if we choose to ignore it, the world will define us by it:
Are you working at the moment? How’s work going? What are you working on? Have you stopped working now? How will that go down at work?
