My Great Desire to Live

Working hard is what I believe it to be. It gives you a sense of security, pride and dignity, self-worthiness; it makes you feel worthwhile. A job…though pays minimum wage, gives you a certain level of gratification, confidence, a source of income. Sometimes we don’t appreciate having a job until we don’t have one.

Without a job, your nights are consumed with fear, uncertainty, countless thoughts, anger, etc. This is because money is the medium of exchange; without it, you really don’t have much to go on in terms of financial stability. This is also when your ability to push harder gets tested. Often times, we give up our pride, rights as humans too soon. We get desperate and afraid of the unknown; as a result, we succumb and become statistics.
