This document seeks to redefine the concept of work by discussing its dignity, purpose, and benefits. It presents three main purposes of work: self-actualization, making a contribution, and financial rewards. For self-actualization, the document argues that working engages both the mind and body, allowing one to discover themselves and new opportunities. Making a contribution means seeing oneself as an asset that adds value through economic development. Financial rewards from work include promotion, good health, and favor. The overall message is that work refines people rather than kills them.

You need to understand that
the more you work; engaging
your mind and body, the
more you discover yourself
and other opportunities you
can venture into.

I have never seen any one
that remains idle and
becomes a better person.
They are not respected in
the society, not even their
families.

11. PURPOSE OF WORK
2. An avenue for making
contribution.

12. AVENUE FOR MAKING CONTRIBUTION.
CONT’D
See yourself as an asset and not a
liability. See yourself as adding
value to your organization and the
society at large; that is, you are
part of the economic development
of Nigeria, Africa and the entire
world.

13. AVENUE FOR MAKING CONTRIBUTION.
CONT’D
Many of you see yourselves as a
burden, a waste. You need to
understand that, it is the way you
value yourself that determines the
others, your company and the society
will value you. It also determines how
passionate you will be about your
work.

14. CONCLUSION
Work does not kill, it
only refines. Thank
you.
