"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

Driving a brand-new car around in a nice neighborhood, green grasses, blue sky, and sweet breezes in the hair. Family members gathering in your cozy house on a holiday, chatting, laughing, wine glasses clinking, and joyous shrieks when they unwrap the gifts you bought. Walking on a soft Hawaiian beach, hand in hand with your loved one, drunken in the fresh smell of the sea, turning around and getting mesmerized by the blazing sunset in her eyes.
