Rice Work and Life Work

I was watching Youtube the other day and heard an interesting story.

It was about how a person answered when asked by a student what kind of job he or she would like to have in the future.

The conclusion is, "Go into the profession of someone you admire.

Except for those who are very wealthy and can live without doing anything, most people have some kind of job.
I think respect is largely based on a person's personality, but I also think it is because it is closely related to the work they do.

In general, most people think about choosing a job because it seems to have a stable income or because it is a well-known company.
I think some people choose the job they really want to do, but I think it's hard to judge if a job is really for you before you enter the workforce.

In a sense, I think it is natural for people to choose to work as a company employee or a civil servant because they need money to live and they can get a stable salary.
Whether you are a company employee or a civil servant, you never know what kind of work you will actually be assigned in the organization.


It's not about whether you like the job or not.
You can enjoy your work if it suits you, and you can have a good professional life if you have respectable people and colleagues at work.
On the other hand, if the work is not suitable for you, you will be reluctant to do it, your performance will not improve, and going to the office may become painful.

Looking back on my 40+ years of corporate life, I think I had a happy corporate life, but going to work was painful when I was working in a job that didn't suit me.

But they still go to work because they need the money to survive. I'm sure there are many people who go to work because they tell themselves that they have to in order to eat.

Rice work refers to work that allows you to earn a living even if you sometimes ignore your own feelings of likes and dislikes.

Life work, on the other hand, is a vocation that you choose and continue throughout your life.

The more rice work and life work overlap, the more fulfilling my professional life will be.

My pension will be fully paid from November, so I will have enough income to live on.
However, I will still have to work for a while longer because I need funds to build a house and buy a car for my move to Cebu.


At the same time, I am trying to find a job that I can do after I move here.
That is, a job that makes people happy and allows me to spend the rest of my life in a meaningful way. In other words, it's my life's work.
