Happy Monday Many "ordinary" jobs are far more essential than we think. Without cleaners tidying our roads, offices, and houses, the environment would become unsanitary, leading to illness and death. Without carpenters, we would lack furniture and struggle with living spaces. Without mechanics, our cars would sit idle, leaving us stranded. While we may opt for DIY, few of us could handle all these tasks without burning out or making costly mistakes. Now, it is true that we place more value on certain jobs based on income or "packaging". We look down on people who handle "ordinary" work, either by choice or circumstances. They are not at our level, we say. However, a functioning society cannot have everyone as entrepreneurs, tech professionals, or managers. We need the women selling at the market, the commercial bikemen, the taxi drivers, the plumbers and carpenters. Every legitimate work that contributes to human flourishing is valuable. Should we then, look down on certain occupations? A better approach would be to thank them for their services. Interestingly, some earn more than we do. We have the demure and good English, they're quietly purchasing assets. But beyond financial success, the impact of their work alone dignifies their labour. #Mondays #work
