Feel free to add comments if you have a myth that was not covered. My dear, Our society continues to think that leisure time is more enjoyable than work. Continues to think that sitting on a beach somewhere, relaxing under the hot sun, is more enjoyable than working…. Our society is wrong. Work is more fun than fun. That is, the right kind of work is. It has to be the kind of work you’re truly passionate about. Work that you would continue to do even if no one paid you a dime. That work is more fun than fun. So go out, find your work. It’s more fun than fun. Truly yours, Noel Coward | 14 9 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
