Identify yourself

Identify yourself April 9, 2008

An idealistic assumption is that most people are identified by their family and community.

Not so, says the Gallup orgnaization.

Most Americans “define themselves by their job, on the basis of their job title and the brand image of their employer,” according to Gallup CEO James Clifton. “The great new American dream is having a good job.”

We used to be satisfied with a nice home surrounded by caring friends in a stable community.

Now it seems, we are happiest when we “have a good job.” Anything less, and we are not “worthy.”
What do you think? Is this a male problem? Females too? Is Gallup off his rocker?

Please, share with a friend if you feel moved.
