SPOTLIGHT
We often place our careers as our number one priority in life, often above family but to what detriment? And is a job really the most important thing in life? Yes, it’s an essential part of surviving, you need a job to pay the bills, but should we be killing ourselves for employers who just see as ’a number’?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Labour Organization (ILO), long working hours kill hundreds of thousands of people annually. In addition, the first global research of this kind found that in 2016, 745,000 people died from a stroke and heart disease due to long working hours. Almost half a billion people worked more than 55 hours weekly, while the norm was 35-40 hours.
These shocking statistics bring to light how career focus isn’t the most important things in life, and we should stop to think about what is really important to us. For some it may be family, for others it could be travelling. The true meaning will be different to every reader.
👇 Explore our list of the 25 most important things in life to see what resonates with you.
