The vast majority of work exists for one purpose alone: survival.

Young people carry a significant misconception — that work must be the vehicle for pursuing their ideals and expressing who they are.

But work, at its core, is simply the act of trading your labor for a livelihood.

Work demands your labor. Not your emotions.

Many people are unhappy at work because they have loaded it with far too much meaning.

The truth is, genuine success in a career belongs to a rare few.

So when work brings you unhappiness, try adjusting your mindset first — and see what changes.
