work, meaning, identity

Love this quote from an article on work and the search for more than a paycheck, “Beyond the paycheck” from ft.com.

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a Monday-to-Friday sort of dying.’ (Studs Terkel, ‘Working’, 1970)
