Most People Spend Only Half Their Years Of Life Gainfully Employed
(Yeah, trying to be a little provocative here). OK, you're in schools most of your first 20 years (or more), then you work until around 60 (about 40 years, but your life may vary), then you retire for at least another 20. So despite all our talk of how hard life can be we're only working half of it. And that half isn't nonstop, there's early mornings, evenings and nights, weekends, holidays, vacations. It's not like they put a shovel in your hand at 5 and you break rocks until death at 80.

No, most people spend there entire lives working.
Many people in the west don't know the meaning of a days work.

 That was good. You're right that those in the 3rd World know work a whole lot more than in the Western world.
