Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follows
Whether work should be placed among the causes of happiness or among the causes of
unhappiness may perhaps be regarded as a doubtful question There is certainly much work
which is exceedingly irksome and an excess of work is always very painful. However, work is
not to most people less painful than idleness, Most of the work that most people have to do
is not in itself Interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages To begin with
fills good many houses of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most
people, when they are left free to their own time according to their own choice are at a loss
to think of doing anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing and whether they deode
on they are troubled by the feeling that something would have been pleasant, To be able to
full leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization and at present very few people have
reached this level.
Work, therefore, is desirable, first and foremost as a preventive of boredom, for the
boredom that a man feels when he is doing something out of compulsign, though
uninteresting work is as boring as having nothing to do with this advantage of work another
is associated, namely that it makes holidays much more delicious when they come Provided
a man does not have to work so hard as to iropalr his vigour, he is likely to find far more
best in his free time than idle man could possibly find
The second advantage of most paid work and some of unpaid work is that it give chances of
success and opportunities for ambition. In most work, success is measured by income and
while our capitaliste society continues, this is inevitable. However dull work may be, it
becomes bearable, if it is a means of building up a reputation
