Another Perspective Work Longer Hours

Former Presidential Candidate and Florida Governor Jeb Bush was quoted ". . . people need to work longer hours . . ." to fix the American economy. Click Jeb Bush: To Fix Economy, Americans Need to "Work Longer Hours" to watch the YouTube video. Most people interpret Bush's quote as working at least 40 hours a week with no life or working 60 hours a week with no life.

I have a different perspective on Bush's quote. People need to work longer hours not working at their jobs with their feet nailed to the floor. People need to work longer hours to be better professionals inside work. More jobs today require more hours. More careers require more hours. More training required. Jobs are more technical. Costs are increasing. There is more learning. Blame today's Information Age life.

People need to work longer hours to be mature adults outside work. Don't waste time. The irony is more work for productive leisure. Spend more time for financial planning. Financial education is important. Learn life skills outside work because there's no time to learn life skill inside work. Rest the brain during sleep. Spend more time sleeping and less time watching TV. Blame today's Information Age life.

Be responsible. You may succeed one day. You may win one day. You may understand one day. Practice hard. Practice intelligently. Practice indefinitely. The longer hours inside work may click one day. The longer hours outside work may click one day. Times have changed inside work and outside work comparing today's generation and past generations. The work eight hours a day, go home, and watch TV on a chair drinking a beer are gone.
