I do not like work even when someone else does it.
~~ Mark Twain ~~ (1835 - 1910)

Mark Twain is not alone in his dislike for work; there are a lot of people who don’t like their work. There are many reasons for it:

• We humans by nature don’t like ‘anything’ that we ‘have to’ do as it implies compulsion and we resent it. Now, to survive in this world, one has to have a job (work) and lots of us end up with jobs for which we have no interest.
• Many jobs such as factory or assembly jobs are so repetitive that a worker is required to perform the same operation over and over again all day, everyday with little or no brain work involved. This results in extreme boredom for the worker resulting in such problems as workers drinking or taking drugs on the job.

Looking from another angle: If you don’t like to work, don’t worry; even Mark Twain didn’t like it! LOL
