“Our society has developed a knack for portraying work as a curse and the need to work as a misfortune.”
So begins a wonderful letter to the editor in the Nov. 25 USA Today from Patricia Romeo of Cincinnati, OH.
“The ‘take this job and shove it’ attitude has been around for a long time. Today, the unemployment rate is more than 10 percent. Now that jobs are scare, I am very thankful to have one.”
“Whether you are a plumber, a waitress or a business professional, workign with passion provides great satisfaction. I am often moved by people who find passion in their jobs.
She continues:
“This year, I am going to give my work the passion it deserves. i am going to exude pride as I manage my daily tasks like labors of love. Work is a privilege, and to acheive satisfaction when finishing a task completes me as a person.”
“My hope is that , some day, every American will have the opportunity to share in the joys that work provides.”
All I can say, is “Amen.”
