"When a man sees his work perfected and this perfection is the result of incessant labour and application he is the happiest man in the world. Work is the source of human happiness."
Baha'i Writings
Today I had a good day at work. I came home and it was hard to think about something else.
Well, I don't think that this quote means that one should be at work 24h a day. That's not the point. After all, we can also work at home when we clean the house, do the laundry... In fact, if we take this quote to be a definition of work (something that we perfect and is the result of incessant labour), then a house wife would be doing better work than somebody who gets paid to sit in an office without putting effort into his/her job.
