Search Results - Rat race

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A rat race is a fierce competition to maintain or improve one's position in the workplace or social life. This term presumably alludes to the rat's desperate struggle for survival. [Colloquial; first half of 1900s] Source www.yourdictionary.com

A rat race is a term used for an endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit. It conjures up the image of the futile efforts of a lab rat trying to escape whilst running around a maze or in a wheel. In an analogy to the modern city, many rats in a single maze expend a lot of effort running around, but ultimately achieve nothing (meaningful) either collectively or individually.

The increased image of work as a "rat race" in modern times has led many to question their own attitudes to work and seek a better alternative; a more harmonious Work-life balance. Many believe that long work hours, unpaid overtime, stressful jobs, time spent commuting, less time for family life and/or friends life, has led to a generally unhappier workforce/population unable to enjoy the benefits of increased economic prosperity and a higher standard of living.

1. How Web Hosting Affects SEO Results
November 19, 2009

You will often hear people sigh about the "rat race” and pine for a so-called "simpler time" 10, 20 or 50 years ago when everything was just right. The problem is, there never was such a time, and 50 years ago people were pining for an older era, too. However, there is one group of people who have no illusions about "good old days." Internet professionals, information technology (IT) workers and high-tech folks in general have no desire to go back to DOS 5.0, 5¼ inch floppies and 4.88MHz processors. They may have fond memories of visiting The Well over a phone modem, but they know that going b... (read more)

November 19, 2009

The Rat Race: I’m at home. 6:30am I wake to the disgusting sound of the alarm buzzing. I hate it so much that I can’t bear to press the snooze button. The extra 5 minutes of broken sleep isn’t worth the dreaded sound of the alarm again. I’m still tired. I’m always tired. I jump in the shower and try to wake up a little. It hardly does the job. I iron my shirt, eat some toast and take the last few sips of a bland tasting coffee. I’m ready to go to work. I jump in the car and pull out of the drive way. 2 minutes into my hour long journey to work I am stuck in traffic. I’m not surprised as this ... (read more)

November 19, 2009

read a couple of books lately that have really inspired me. One is The Jackrabbit Factor by Leslie Householder. This is a great story about a guy who is depressed about his life as he is dealing with the very common, difficult situations we all experience at some point. He finds himself in a strange sort of dreamland where people are scrambling around in what appears to be the “rat race” of life, trying to collect little brown paper bags filled with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Then the main character observes the people who are “successful” and sees that they are carrying rabbits and ... (read more)
