What exactly is work? When people ask you what do you do why do we feel an urge to have to explain to them something that is of some worth to them – or so you think?  Do they really care?

When I’m asked that question it used to be answered with some thought behind it to ensure that whoever asked it knew that I was of importance.  Well really? Am I important?  Perhaps now my most important job is being a good husband and father.  So how do I respond now?  I tell people I am a thinker and a doer.  Well not really but perhaps I should start saying that.  
Any work you do you have to think and do. Am I making sense?
Think about it and go do something productive.
