You haven't explained why having a lot of work is good.

  >You haven't explained why having a lot of work is good. Because it means there is an opportunity to make progress. However, if you overwork yourself, stress yourself, or are simply incapable of putting in the work necessary to make that progress happen, then you would have squandered that opportunity.

    That's a reason why work itself might be good. That's not a reason why a lot of work, to the point where you are doing more work than anything else in your life, is good.

      Yeah, that is one way to look at it, and I honestly wasn't thinking of that. I was intending it to mean "a lot of courses" as the context was that of an university, but it could also mean "a large project" along the same thought axis.

    Work doesn't always imply progress. Ask anybody who stacks shelves or waits tables for a living, or someone who works two or three jobs.

      Thanks for the comment, but we were discussing work in a specific context. Instead of being so uncharitable, you could have asked what is being discussed.
