Is Chateaubriand talking about FIRST people or ... ?

[sure_smile]

*tries desperately to come up with cooler comeback than big mike and dave, spontaneously combusts*

in other news, (keeping with my theme of the day), me cavegirl. me love FIRST.

and in even more news, you should all go read the comic 'pearls before swine'

I think that this is talking about anyone who is passionate about anything.

If your passion is what you make a living doing, all the better for you.

But, then there is the flipside of the coin.
Don't make a living doing what you love, cause then when you want to do it in your free time, you will come to hate it.
I can see both aspects being true.

'Work' and 'play' can be totally different occupations - in fact, there's no limit to the number of things you can be interested in.

I think this speaks about one's approach to life; it's about finding 'magic' in all of life's tasks and situations, whether simple or overwhelming. It's about allowing the present to be new, and to be celebrated.

Ah yes. That can be very true.
