THE FUTURE OF MONEY Bernard A. Lietaer - library.uniteddiversity ...

is an activity that is performed primarily for its own sake, for the
pleasure derived from the giving, or the passion expressed in the
activity itself (see sidebar).
Many signs point to the idea that a 'job' for everybody, which
became prevalent only during the Industrial Age, may be dying with
that age.
A lucky minority has jobs, which are also their work. Successful
artists always combined the two. Similarly, the real geniuses in any
field whether it is in business or healing, the military, education,
academics or politics - always 'followed their bliss', as Joseph
Campbell put it so eloquently. However, these cases still remain
exceptions to the rule.
Would you continue doing what you are doing if you had all the
money you would ever need? If the answer is yes, you are among the
fortunate ones whose work and job coincide. What is the percentage
of people you know who would continue their job, if they didn't need
the money?
Anything that may help people enjoy what they are doing should
be welcome. As a Chinese proverb puts it:
The connection to public health
If a person has joy in what he does
There will be harmony in the work
If there is harmony in the work
There will be order in the nation
If there is order in the nation
There will be peace in the world.
