We should work to live, but how nice it is if you love your work so much that you live to work, and can even take great pleasure in your work. However, it's true that some people allow their work to take all their time, that their family does not get to enjoy that person. Even I spend too much time at my computer that I don't exercise enough, and I may rob my husband of the pleasure of having my attention. We need a balance in our life, don't we!

Hello,an interesting question:) In my case,i won't divide them into two opposite sides that "live to work" or "work because i have to live".Instead,i'll balance them "live and work","work and live" -two in one,they are life! I understand that in our modern world there're many people just concentrate on working and leave their other aspects aside,but it's better to learn how to balance the insider and outsider life.

About this topic I would like let a comment.. ehe. Once a friend of mine said me : we need have to do what we like": and I thought that he meant about "work". Maybe I have misunderstood, but It's hard to me to say this.

Leandro, firstly, its a very interesting perspective of seeing life and a very good question indeed. For me up till now, I am living to work, trying to improve myself in my field. I don't know in future, my this perspective remains the same or it changes to the second one:)) I think after certain age and time everybody work to live. I guess, I maybe wrong:)))

Florence I'm aware of what you say. I fully understand the harsh reality of much of the world's people who can hardly survive, still working. I expect my question isn't inconvenient for all these people, for which I feel great admiration, respect and debt as a world citizen that I am.
