From ancient times till now.The question why we work is still exist today .Different people have different answers .And the answer to you is related to your attitude towards life ,either positive or negative .
　　Someone thinks that we work is to live.through our hard working ,we can get what we need and enjoy a happy life.they consider that work is not the whole part of life,but play a small role in it.
　　On the contrary ,other people live to work .They think they willl die without working.The gole for which they work is to make enough money to support themselves and their families.They do not devote themselves to their work,instead,they are likely to quit their work if they make enough money.
　　In my opinion,we should not go to the extremes.It is necessary for us to do our work with pleasure.Only when we realise it,can we live in harmonious surroundings.
