uncertainty at work

Many years ago, a job could mean having that same job for life. But nowadays, what with mergers and take-overs, and businesses ceasing trading, there is little certainty about having a job.
So if we cannot define a person by the work they do, then in what way do we view them? How does each one of us define our purpose in life?
Is it to be the wealthiest, the one who owns the most? Is it to be the most influential or the most powerful? OR is it to be the kindest, the most gentle, the most helpful?

"Be generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity" - From the Baha'i Writings

Who told you that you could ONLY define a person by they work they do? It seems you are making a massive assumption here!
