A man who sets out to justify his existence and his activities has to distinguish two different questions. The first is whether the work which he does is worth doing; and the second is why he does it (whatever its value may be).
When you’re doing work you care about, you are able to work harder and better.
Why do men delight in work? Fundamentally, I suppose, because there is a sense of relief and pleasure in getting something done - a kind of satisfaction not unlike that which a hen enjoys on laying an egg.
I don't have to work, really, but I do enjoy working, and I do enjoy getting paid.
I work because I enjoy what I'm doing, and the fact that I make money at it - big money - is a fine-and-dandy side fact.
You really have to wonder why we even bother to get up in the morning. I mean, really: Why work? Simply to buy more stuff?
I don't want money badly enough to work for it.
