Work signifies different images to many people depending on who you are, where you live, and your individual point of view.

Resignation is the formal act of leaving your job or quitting work. A resignation can occur when a person holding a position gained by election or appointment steps down, but leaving a position upon the expiration of a term, or choosing not to seek an additional term, is not considered resignation. When an employee chooses to leave a position, it is considered a resignation. In the meantime, work hard, take risks, and live for the moment.
