Working to Live or Living for Work

Working to live or living for work? Sometimes the distinctions between these two become blurred especially in today's modern societies. The drive for success places real demands on the individual; it's so easy to become caught up in the whole relentless push for greater success. Yet does it all really matter at the end of the day.  If one can find contentment in one's own life outside of work then isn't this the real touchstone.

    My answer to your last sentence is "yes." There's an old joke, "So what if you win the rat race - you're still a rat."

    I enjoyed my career, but my life outside of work has been the foundation of my life in retirement.
