Find a vocation in your life where you just really enjoy the act itself

This is an excerpt from a recent blog entry "In it for long haul" of David Heinemeier Hansson, the author of Ruby on Rails.

In light of this, I strongly recommend that you find a vocation in your life where you just really enjoy the act itself. Not just the results, not just the external incentives. The actual work. There's not enough time to spend it doing anything else.


He has been really enjoying working on Ruby on Rails for five years. I hope that someday I will create work that I love to do for its own sake.
