A Book On The Principles Of Finding The Dream Job

Many people place what they love doing as their top priority when considering future career options. However, Gordon Marino, professor of philosophy at St. Olaf College and editor of The Quotable Kierkegaard, believes that this should not be the case. He wrote on the subject in his article titled “A Life Beyond ‘Do What You Love’”, which was published in The New York Times on May 17, 2014. His purpose in writing this article is to offer a different view of a commonly held belief. Mr. Marino argues that the statement “do what you love” is an elitist aspect of our culture that degrades the inherent value of work and severs connections between work, talent, and duty. He supports his argument through his anecdotes denoting his personal experience, continuous appeals to authority, his use of deductive reasoning, and through procatalepsis.

As a matter of fact, nobody has a car repaired or has unique earrings made every day. Monthly bills, insurance, and gas have almost inflexible prices while “the business goes up and down” unpredictably (n.p). However, the writer believes that when working with passion and enthusiasm, technical jobs will make more money than paperwork and bring an interesting life. From my perspective, because of the loss of ability to afford for living expense, trades may face the enticement of money, alternatively, “charge more than a fair price” (n.p). Of course, money doesn’t bring happiness, but it is a requirement to reach that goal. Working with ambition to pursue goals may not bring expected results; it is necessary to prepare for that harsh

In her article, Miya Tokumitsu states that most people who follow the principle “do what you love” become self-centered. Being focused on ourselves and our happiness, as the author says, make us prouder than we ought to be. As a result, we create a division between those who love their jobs and those who do not. The writer defends those who do not love their jobs by claiming that not all jobs are enjoyable yet are socially necessary.

American entrepreneur, Steve Jobs, once said: “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Some people may take a job out of necessity rather than being passionate about their work. You have to love what you do as you spend more time working than being with loved ones. In Studs Terkel’s Working, adapted by Harvey Pekar, the reader is presented with visual adaptations of the lives of ordinary Americans that show how they feel about what they do for a living ranging from farmers, miners, barbers, box boys, and a hooker are some of the jobs mentioned in the novels. The author gives the

Every human being has a different autobiography, which reflects a concern about how to find fulfillment in life. That question has always been the subject of frequent discussion, but there is no banner answer has been given that success must be representative of life satisfaction, as well as in particularly, the achievements are recognized on the economy, social and psychological aspects. Meanwhile, I am strongly confident that the bottom line lies in restructuring the formula for a successful is the profession. In truth, the importance of mindset boundary personal growth and success in life as well as a free tool that helps you achieve goals in different aspects such as individual's personal and professional aspirations. Nevertheless, as I will attempt to demonstrate in my paper, how am i

The world of work and the world of wonder are two worlds that play a prominent role in the lives of humans. In that sense they are commensurable to one another, yet at the same there there is a clear distinction between how the two worlds worlds operate that make them incommensurable. The purpose of this paper is to to argue that the world of work is incommensurable with the world of wonder in certain senses, but commensurable in others. This will be done by providing evidence from Leisure, the Basis of Culture by Josef Pieper, Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, and works of Plato.

Dr. Waddell explains that he feels work signifies honor, creativity, and love. Dr. Waddell states, “[vocation] expresses the belief that God is present in calling and equipping people to fulfill a particular purpose in life and this correlates with Grudems’ statement, “that is why God made us with a desire to be productive, to make or do something useful for [ourselves] and other people”.

In the past, some people worked jobs they did not prefer to do but did it to provide for themselves or their family. Some people were fortunate enough to choose a career path they loved, such as law, medicine, teaching, and business, to name a few. Dr. Marino is a professor of philosophy who began life in a tumultuous family and did not regard a profession as important. It was through mentors who made a positive influence on his life that he turned his life around. Gordon Marino attended Columbia University, Yale, and University of Chicago, where he earned his Ph.D. in philosophy, with an emphasis on Soren Kierkegaard and existentialism.

Many people in today’s society find themselves guilty of believing the common misconception that money can buy happiness. They go to school to become a doctor, lawyer, or other high paying job, with money and social status as their only incentives. Many will find that they have fallen into a trap, when they start earning their large salary, but still are not happy. While there were many messages present throughout Studs Terkels Working: a graphic adaptation, the most important reoccurring message seemed to be that having pride and dignity as well as working at a job that fulfills one’s life passion or is simply enjoyable are more important qualities than earning a large salary and having a high rank on the social ladder. The interaction of

Another important aspect of creating opportunities revolves around the concept of doing a job well regardless of whether you enjoy it or not. In reality, the dream job is not typically the first job, the second job, or even the third. However, this does not count as an excuse for not performing to the highest capacity at any level of work. Adam expands, saying that it is crucial to “get in the habit of doing things well” and not judge a job because you it feel it might be below you. Doing a job properly and to the fullest ability demonstrates attention to the detail and is a key indicator of overall job performance to employers.

“You must love your work, and not be always looking over the edge of it…You must have pride in your own work and in learning to do it well,” George Elliot says in his novel Middlemarch. Elliot suggests that passion is what stops the moans and groans of going to work every day and turns work into fun. It is crucial too to learn fully how to do the job so that the outcome of practicing it involves love, pride and satisfaction. However, in this hard economic time, one cannot make decisions based on pure passion and heavenly outcome; other factors such as income are essential too. Also, one needs to consider the time, effort, dedication and service to others one is committing oneself to. When on the brink of choosing a career, it is

In the second seminar, Aditya Chakrabortty’s article ‘Why our jobs are getting worse’ provides us a great standpoint of work reality and explains the reason of why people no longer enjoy going to work. Similar to Ritzer, He believed more and more occupations are changing

This book is intended for everyone. Everything in it can be applied to all aspects of anyone’s life, not just business management. Pink tells about a boy named Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi whose country was under Soviet control World War II. Csikszentmihalyi, in his early teens, “was understandably weary of compliance and looking for engagement” (110). Eventually, he left home for a better life in the United States where he earned a Ph.D. in psychology and studied creativity which “took him to the study of play” (111). He discovered an insight about the human experience in which in the midst of an activity, people enjoyed “autotelic experiences” (111). In such an experience, the activity is self-fulfilling. This anecdote indirectly shows that people
