Listen carefully.
People work to have varieties of food to eat. They need to build
comfortable houses to live in. For some, they have cars and buses to ride in. They
work so that they could buy televisions, radios and stereos or recreation. For those
who earn much, they spend holidays and trips to visit relatives and friends nearby
and distant places around the world.

enjoying some luxuries in life. But the greatest reason why people work is to live
like good Christians lives and above all, to help others.
