    “When You have to do what You love, You’ll start hating it”. More accurate in my opinion.

      I dunno. I switched careers 10 years ago, and I have some good years and some bad years for my income but I still love it and wouldn’t want to do anything else.

      A proper “I’d still do this if I was rich” job. Still, I really do need and appreciate time off from it to recharge.

      I was warned it’s easier to burn out doing something you love because you won’t want to stop even when you can, and it’s true.

      The drive to extract profit makes us become resentful of having to do it. If it was a hobby, driven only by desire, it will never feel like work.
