I couldn't disagree with you more! I have lived a life of constantly struggling for money. It has cost me more than I could ever say. All the attempts were at work that was miserable for me. What I truly wanted to do all that time was to write and arrange music for choirs and orchestras. However, I failed to put in place the opportunities to follow that path and have regretted that all these many years. I would give anything to have done what was right and to have been happy during my years. Happy and poor beats miserable and rich any day.
I'm not clear as to why you disagreed with my thought on the Jobs quote. As I understood his comment, it was an encouragement to seek out ones passion. I agree with this, as do some highly successful people such as Limbaugh and Trump.
If what you love also leads to be financial success, so much the better. But continually doing something which causes stress and unhappiness solely for the financial benefits generally leads to an early grave.
With Fathers Day upon us, that truth is brought to the forefront for me once again.
