Thanks man, appreciate it, and also good suggestion, this should be looked upon to be added so that the users can see the links rather than having to hover over.

I read it and I liked it. He has a weird understanding of the word "work". Since when is work only work if you don't like it?
As soon as I enjoy my work he wouldn't call it work anymore.
It is also funny to read, but he could have left out the gender-cliche jokes (they are mildly infuriating).

I also read and enjoyed all of this. But as @"Deque" said, I disagree with how he speaks of "work". I personally don't like being there, but working makes me a happier person. I'm a work-a-holic like every other man in my family. Even if it's waking up early in the morning just to do heavy lifting in a factory, I'll enjoy the idea of getting to go to work and coming home with a paycheck every two weeks. It makes me feel useful, feeling useful to society is something that I need to feel in order to be 'happy'.

I guess you have to replace his "don't work" with "don't do a job you don't like" (as this seems to be his understanding of the word "work")
And suddenly most people will agree.
But as a title it would be less attracting. I think he chose to change the meaning of the word "work" for the purpose of a seemingly more interesting statement in the title.

I'm glad that you don't experience this in your life or you don't know anyone who suffers from this illness.
While you don't see it I live in it, I have friends/family members who do things they don't want to do, weather it's in their
work life or social life ...etc
Majority of people live their lives in a routine they don't actually enjoy it. There are many reasons for that ,but I will stick
to the one which is relevant to the thread. Majority of humans go to their jobs so that they earn some income live their daily
lives and hopefully travel once or twice in that year. According to what I read neither you (@deque) nor @maxx suffer from it
since you are already doing something you love. I personally have friends which don't like computers but non the less they had
to come to Software Engineering since they had high marks & their family didn't allow them to go to the department they love
weather it's biology , chemistry or any other departments.
//My country university entrance is by a "once in a life exam" which if you fail (get low marks) you won't be able to go to your
//desired university & if you get high marks you will be sent to Medical college (that's my countries mentality I know hope it
will change)
//anyways this will result in doing something which they (humans) will have to do when they graduate & they will still hate it.
Anyways I don't know the writer of that Blog, but I really did enjoy his way of putting things out, a little humor although I see
@deque you didn't enjoy it but personally I did ^^ for those kind of speeches one must put some humor so that general public won't get bored.
Now to something which it was/still is hard to do sometimes, I read a lot of psychological/psychiatric cases or books,these books
give me something I use in my daily life, analyze peoples action (a hobby of mine) why did they say what they said, what motivated
them to do what they did ?! and many more questions. By doing this I get to know a lot of their personal views &
characteristics. That is achievable by analyzing both points of view since we both have different experiences.
//P.S I don't know what exactly I wrote since I just woke up ^^ so excuse me for grammar mistakes and hope you get the message
