As with many other things in life, the pandemic refreshed my perspective on what it means to be a worker. I write this with a lot of the front liners who risked their lives in the names of their jobs at such a grim time in mind. I think about the Overseas Filipino Worker all the time, who tirelessly sacrifices his/her time with their loved ones back home in the name of sometimes back breaking jobs to augment their lives, and oftentimes, of those who matter most to them.
In a society that can seem so stratified on most days, and where some jobs are undoubtedly higher paying than others, we must condition our minds to never think that one occupation is more important than another, or that one job is more prestigious.
And to end this on a grateful note, here is to working hard, but also knowing how to enjoy and to live life. As the saying goes, “work hard, play hard.” May we always find purpose in our every day, and may we always find happiness in what we set out to do.
