Finally!
I got a request.
An Atomic Homework reader writes, “What does ‘appeal’ mean?”
(By the way, any time you want me to answer your Atomic Word questions, just hit “reply” and let me know.)
Here we go…
IT’S APPEALING
Do you know the book The 4-Hour Work Week?
It’s about how the author, Tim Ferriss, quit his job, started an online business, traveled the world, and only worked four hours a week.
That idea was so appealing that millions bought the book.
I personally know at least ten men and ten women who now live a similar life — and the idea came from that book.
Obviously, the idea appealed to me, too, because that’s more or less what my life looks like.
(Except I still haven’t figured out the four-hour part…)
YOUR WORK
What appeals (or doesn’t appeal) to you about your work?
Do the hours appeal to you?
Does the pay appeal to you?
Do the perks or the bonuses appeal to you?
Does the variety or the routine appeal to you?
Does the commute, or lack of a commute, appeal to you?
Or does the challenge appeal to you?
That’s definition #1.
Tomorrow: Definition #2 of “appeal”
Cheers,
Mr. Vig
P.S.
Listen to today’s audio lesson and we’ll go even deeper with appeal.

working online, mean freedom, you can meet people every where, discover culture, knowing the world inside and outside of us, the value it’s so big that I can do it waiting revenue, it’s the best because inside have more and more things that you have in a traditional work, you can practice sport, arts, and have care about the family and the relation of heart, at last it’s the best way to live, I planned it very well, but of course ..in the life happened what’s not of course, not only stumbles but the misunderstanding about the value of working in a different way
I am a free man, I can’t back to the past in the traditional way of work
challenge about work? I don’t understand, job is not a challenge, work is a process, everyday, every moment, during the sleep, always the process and it’s a process of mind, not challenge. The challenge is in a sport, in TV, so i love the match, not during the training but when the game is real, I don’t understand the challenge in a work, seem like to be a part of puzzle, and i don’t love to be one of it
