The always inspiring Paul Graham has written another great essay. This time it's about doing what you love.
Once, when I was about 9 or 10, my father told me I could be whatever I wanted when I grew up, so long as I enjoyed it. I remember that precisely because it seemed so anomalous. It was like being told to use dry water. Whatever I thought he meant, I didn't think he meant work could literally be fun– fun like playing. It took me years to grasp that.
Thanks to Alex and Damion for the tip.
