The Meaning of Work
The meaning of work is just as different to people as the meaning of life. So many things are involved in what work really means. This includes morals and principles, personal work ethics, responsibility and the list goes on. When it comes to deciding the right combination one must remember to stay true to oneself in order to become honestly successful in the business world.
Rationality is not an easy concept to understand. By definition rationality is the, “recognition of ends and mean” (Above the Bottom Line 3rd Edition, 2004, p. 211). Rationality begins with a capability to mirror and understand, weigh options and distinguish the absolute best way to accomplish things. What is meant by the ends and means in rationality? The, “ends” are the goals and the “means” are the choices. (Above the Bottom Line 3rd Edition, 2004, p. 214)
Rationality also involves taking part in the best line of attack. It has been stated that, “rationality, in short, basically amounts to being good at the game” (Above the Bottom Line 3rd Edition, 2004, p. 215). One way to do this is by being efficient. Efficiency is to accomplish something, “in the most rational way” (Above the Bottom Line 3rd Edition, 2004, p. 217). Hopefully this efficiency will lead to high profits.
Another part of rationality is the art of negotiating. This is defined as making ones wants clear, what one is willing accept and what one would really to do for it. “This discussion is called negotiation, and it is the key of rationality in business.” (Above the Bottom Line 3rd Edition, 2004, p. 227).
Responsibility should be looked at, to start with, in terms of the encouraging roles and opportunities that define the professions we do and our place within the world.
To be a participant in a practice is to have responsibilities, and to be a member of a society, by virtue of being a participant in certain practices, is
