For those people who accept that their work defines them, I wonder: what defined you before you began your career? What defined you as a child? How do you expect to define yourself after you retire?
i had my first job where i paid social security at 15 but paying jobs as a babysitter since I was 11 or 12- and got recognized for a strong work ethic often... work has always defined me for the most part... but before that - being a hard worker in school, in sports, in anything I did - i was defined by whatever I did -I have it 100 percent...

I'll be carried out of the officein a pine box, retirement will be defined by a death...
