- why I love blogs
- the sum and substance of posts I never wrote from drafts that I never made
Via Amit. Read full post here. I'm quoting the one I strongly agree with.
If you make your work your life, you’re making your life into hard work. Like most people, I confused myself by looking at people like artists and musicians whose life’s “work” fills their time. That isn’t work. It’s who they are. Unless you have some overwhelming passion that also happens to allow you to earn a living doing it, always remember that work should be a means to an end: living an enjoyable life. Spend as little time on the means as possible consistent with achieving the end. Only idiots live to work.I love being 35. I did my time in learning loads of things. And I'm gonna learn so much more ahead. And my knees will hurt bad. When they do, this is what I will remember
- Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.[>>]
- Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. [>>]

I love the sunscreen :)
Somehow I have never agreed with the fact that you *have to* love your work. Really. What about loving your families, friends, music, travelling, reading?
Like Amit, writes work is a means to an end. To living a good life.
So I feel you don't have to necessary love your work, it is just as good if you can like it and do it properly :)
I remember reading on Scott Adam's blog that if he were to trade for his 50-something year old mind with his 20-something year old body he would pass. How can one give up all that one learns.
I remember reading Ithaca
which says ' Hope your road is a long one.'
A road rich with knee-hurting lessons :)
I used to work a lot that the company gave me "star of the month" and then they forgot about me.
Now I work to get a salary. I love my job but I am not passionate about it. At the end of the day, my job pays me for my weekend fun

Have to say this - love the sunscreen song, is like a mantra to me. Sometimes I listen to it in the car on & on again, hoping it gets into my subcons or something. Damn, just realised, I'm weird.
Sigh.
You enjoy yourself!
Thanks all for your comments.
Kusum - Yup I agree with you. I guess paapi pet ka sawaal hain!
Punds - So does mine..but I've gotta learn to get those weekends back!
Melody - Not weird at all! Its a great text, song, whatever!
