The need to work is inherent in the first mandate given to man, and that is to work and tend the earth, looking after its resources, and to use them honourably. There is a very real sense in which we live to work.

The problem with work today is two-fold. In the first instance, work has become for many an end in itself, a place from where we get our ultimate sense of worth and for many, work has become the main thing that gives value and reason for their existence.

On the other side of the coin, in the modern world in particular, work for many is something that interferes with leisure pursuits. Modern Western man is becoming lazier and lazier with time, with people often looking for the get-rich quick scheme. One popular reality TV programme recently footed two guys who had set their sights on never having to work. They would simply "get money" with no effort. How they could accomplish this remains a mystery, because money is traded for effort throughout the world. Playing on this notion, however, the world has come up with a multitude of get-rich-quick pyramid schemes that guarantee the concept of "passive income", which means that people get money and build wealth entirely without effort, or certainly for effort that bears no relationship to the returns.

The fact is that true wealth requires the sweat of our brow and the calluses of our hands. No degree of clever trading on the stock markets or passive income will be able to build wealth that outlasts the whims of emotional reactivity that drives stock markets or the failure of a rung or two of a networking system.

And then, there is a sobering saying that "people do business with people, bottom line."
