Work and Carrer

Work and Career should be logically disjoint .. else u tend to screw up ur personal life .. ( if there is one ) .... this is an exception i want for myself .. Till now I am lucky to create a delusion for myself ..yeah u guessed it rite .. my work isnt my career.. that motivates me not to stay up late in the office .. not to take INITIATIVES.. and just get the GREEN bucks ..coming over with not much efforts... But the latest hindrance/obstacle to my super - duper idea is the moving up the corporate ladder .. which requires hella lota initiatives ..rite now looking for ideas /initiatives ..which are highly innovative .. but nonetheless ... "not to be implemented" .. this is an important premise ..
any thots r welcome ...
