Ambition
Some people say the way to get enlightenment is to work at mundane things until you enter a level that is beyond boredom and complacency into pure joy at everything you do. Doesn't matter if you're picking cotton or shovelling manure, this type of enlightened being is completely satisfied at all times living in the now.
There is another definition of enlightenment that seems to be contrary to this one. This form of enlightment that has to do with the unfolding of human potential. This form is developed not through standard definitions of work but through what we consider to be liesure. Meditation, dance, singing, creative activity, diet regulation, mind expansion techniques, intelectual activity etc. It requires the luxery that results from privilege.
