WHO WILL CRY WHEN YOU DIE [CHAPTER 99]....Love Your Work


                     99.
            Love Your Work

One of the timeless secrets to a long, happy life is to love your work. The golden thread running through the lives of history’s most satisfied people is that they all loved what they did for a living. When psychologist Vera John Steiner interviewed one hundred creative people, she found they all had one thing in common: an intense passion for their work. Spending your days doing work that you find rewarding, intellectually challenges and fun will do more than all the spa vacations in the world to keep your spirits high and your heart engaged. Thomas Edison, a man who recorded 1,093 patents in his lifetime, ranging from the phonographs, the incandescent light bulb and the microphone to the movies, had this to say about his brilliant career at the end of his life, “I never did a day’s work in my life: it was all fun.”
   When you love your job, you discover you will never have to work another day in your life. Your work will be play and the hours will slip away as quickly as they came. As novelist James Michener wrote:

The master in the art of living makes little distinction

between his work and his play, his labor and his
leisure, his mind and his body, his information and
his recreation, his life and his religion. He hardly
knows which is which. He simply pursues his
vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving
others to decide whether he is working or playing.
To him, he is always doing both.

Wealth is What You Don't See

                                    CHAPTER 9         Wealth is What You Don't See Spending money to show people how much money you have is the fastest way to have less money.   M oney has many ironies. Here’s an important one: Wealth is what you don’t see. My time as a valet was in the mid-2000s in Los Angeles, when material appearance took precedence over everything but oxygen. If you see a Ferrari driving around, you might intuitively assume the owner of the car is rich—even if you’re not paying much attention to them. But as I got to know some of these people I realized that wasn’t always the case. Many were mediocre successes who spent a huge percentage of their paycheck on a car. I remember a fellow we’ll call Roger. He was about my age. I had no idea what Roger did. But he drove a Porsche, which was enough for people to draw assumptions. Then one day Roger arrived in an old Honda. Same the next week, and the next. “What happened to your Porsche?” I asked. It was repossessed

THE SINGLE PERSPECTIVE INSTINCT

  CHAPTER EIGHT THE SINGLE PERSPECTIVE INSTINCT Why governments should not be mistaken for nails and why shoes and   bricks sometimes tell you more than numbers Who Can We Trust? Forming your worldview by relying on the media would be like forming your view about me by looking only at a picture of my foot. Sure, my foot is part of me, but it’s a pretty ugly part. I have better parts. My arms are unremarkable but quite fine. My face is OK. It isn’t that the picture of my foot is deliberately lying about me. But it isn’t showing you the whole of me. Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media? Who can we trust? How about experts? People who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world? Well, you have to be very careful here too. The Single Perspective Instinct We find simple ideas very attractive. We enjoy that moment of insight, we enjoy feeling we really understand or know something. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slop
