“Do not waste the vast majority of your life doing something you hate so that you can spend the small remainder sliver of your life in modest comfort. You may never reach that end anyway. Resist the temptation to get a job. Instead, play. Find something you enjoy doing. Do it. Over and over again. You will become good at it for two reasons: you like it, and you do it often. Soon, that will have value in itself.” MayTwoEndsReasonPlayJobsValuesHateEnjoyComfortWasteMajorityTemptationModestYou Like It Author:Adrian Tan
