"Do What You Love; Love What You Do"

I may just adopt that as my new motto for living and working (replacing my old standard of "Everything goes along fine right up until I have to rely on someone else.")

While I'm fortunate enough to be picking and choosing just what to work on and how to approach each such engagement, I'm regaled on a weekly basis by friends who are disgusted with one aspect or another of their own current employment. It doesn't even seem to matter which field they might be in; the story always seems to be the same. Bad bosses; incompetent peers; unreasonable customers; long hours spent on activities that end up being a waste of time; all adding up to endless frustration. I have to say: I really don't miss those days!
