105. Is That Work?


Class Teaching (Work-Life Balancing, Paper I – Work and Life)

Teacher: “Do not make the mistake of thinking that your work begins and ends at your workplace. It is only your paid work that ends there. But you will be working in many other places.

“So, the point is not where you are. The point is, do you consider it as work?

“I will tell you an easy way to find if it is work. Imagine that you are at the middle of something and a friend or a neighbour calls you up for a chat. Now, you don’t want to chat and you want to finish what you are doing.

“What will you tell this person? Will you say you are working? Or give him the reason why you cannot talk to him? If you do, then it is Work.

“If, instead, you just say that you are busy, and not say anything more, or simply lie, then it is not work. Then it is Life.”
