Making Your Vocation Your Vacation
This popular Mark Twain quote is so true and something I've tried to apply to any business venture I get involved with. We spend most of life sleeping and the rest of the living day working. Doesn't sound like much fun does it? Unfortunately, and I hate to say it, but the world is full of miserable people, and this is the common worldview on reality and the meaning of life in general for all too many – you know “woe is me” and that whole “life-sucks-and then-you-die” mentality. Some people tell jokes and goof off on a camera in Tinseltown, acquiring a fortune in the process, but the majority the human race are seemingly content punching a time clock for “The Man,” working for minimum wage - only to make ends meet until their next paycheck. The irony is, what ever social-economical background you subscribe to, real vacationing requires much more time, effort, money, planning, and energy (think white water rafting, mountain climbing, etc...) than your typical work day....
