Defining a job
Index note "making something impossible-for-now"
Work changes, definition of it changes,
universally, a job can be just making something that is impossible-for-now, using whatever means possible given a way.
Impossible-for-now, is something which has not been accomplished in the present, but can be accomplished .
“Work evolves, and its definition changes over time. Universally, a job can be seen as the process of making something that is currently impossible a reality, using any available means to do so.
‘Impossible-for-now’ refers to something that has not yet been achieved, but can be accomplished in the future.”
Is job just waking up in the morning, and sitting at the laptop, manipulating states of electrons in memory, and browsing other states of electrons as they are and changing,? waking up and traveling somewhere (to the job place, or the job place is where you wake up), then have a lunchbreak because humans can’t function without it, but the tastes. Doing something that inspires, or just taking action.
