For most of us, the most important thing in life, after family, is work. We can be factory workers or office workers, representatives or doctors, we can run a small company or be engineers or university teachers: in any case we spend more time at work than anywhere else. Some have chosen their careers after having thoroughly studied a certain field of work, others have followed intensive education and training courses to obtain qualifications for their position, still others have found themselves by chance. There are those who love their work, those who hate it and those who tolerate it but do not feel happy. We often see our current condition as a step on the career ladder, always headed for a higher position. We work hard and work hard to acquire the skills and knowledge that will ensure our professional advancement. But there are also those who are fully satisfied with their work and do not aim to be promoted. Although this book is written for men and women who fall into the first category, there is nothing wrong with being satisfied with your position and not feeling the need to change until retirement. In some areas, to grow professionally we have to put aside what we love about our work. Marcy taught civics at a New York public school.
