Definition
Work can be defined as an activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. But also as a task, or a series of tasks to be undertaken. Or it can also be thought as a synonym for Job, or Profession. It’s what ties in individuals and organization. Which is why I dedicated a lot of research on its meaning.

Quotes
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

I use tags to connect contents in my published articles (but also across quotes, book reviews and other pieces). Not all these pages are “rich” in terms of connecting content. In some cases I use these also to run some definitions of concepts that I use across my site. For comments and feedback, please go to the relevant content page.
