Well, if he really wasn’t, he should have been.
Yesterday I came across one of his sayings that is the most profound and yet common sense that I have heard. It summarizes my life and one of the best bits of advice one could give.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
Watch kids play. They are full of laughter and really enjoying themselves. Thus comes the question, what is play? It must be anything you really enjoy.
This can be extended to be around people you enjoy and avoid those who do not bring you happiness. Remember, to have friends whom you enjoy, you yourself must be joyful.
Of course it is not always possible to be around only people who are pleasant and we cannot always do only pleasant tasks. The answer then is to make the tasks and the people as pleasant as possible. If it is the job, think of the rewards. It could be the money you make or the good you do. If it is a person, challenges yourself to see if you can make that person laugh or be nicer. You may be surprised that person may be hurting and looking for a kind word, or even a friend.
