Hope everyone had a wonderful labor day weekend !!

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work.”  – Thomas Edison


'Work' is a hard word to define. One person's idea of work can be another person's idea of leisure. Something that you dislike doing at work, you might quite enjoy in a leisure setting.
Is work still work if you don't get paid for it? People work productively in all areas of life without being paid. This unpaid work includes:
housework in households, child care and shopping for the home, volunteer and community work, work done free of charge (favours for others), etc.

What if you didn't work and you had every day to yourself? You could choose to go to the beach, watch television, go to the movies, go shopping, read books, visit friends, visit places of interest, go out for meals, play sport. This all sounds nice, but you'd need at least some money to do most of these things. Relaxing and doing what you please is great for a holiday, but after a while the pleasure can wear off and you can feel aimless and bored.

The benefits you get from paid and unpaid work are strongly linked to your values. When you know what your values are regarding work, you can work out what you hope to achieve through working what your overall ambitions are, set meaningful goals for yourself, 
choose jobs that will satisfy you in ways that are deeper than your 'hip pocket' and  understand why you feel dissatisfied in a job that doesn't fit with your values.

London Tube strike causes major disruption

Millions of Londoners have been forced to walk, cycle or take packed buses to and from work as Underground staff staged their second strike in a month.
London Underground staff walked out on Wednesday evening and will not return until Friday morning, causing a shutdown of the world's oldest subway network and severely disrupting transport in the capital.
Four trade unions are locked in a months-long dispute with management over London Mayor Boris Johnson's plans to run a 24-hour Tube service on Fridays and Saturdays from September 12.
An extra 250 buses, additional rental bikes and increased river boat services were laid on to help ease the disruption, while overground trains were operating as normal.
But the Tube handles four million journeys every day, meaning many trains and buses were overcrowded on Thursday.
It is the second time the service has shut down in a month, after a similar strike on July 8 and 9 caused the first network-wide closure for 13 years.
