Work in what you love

There are too many people in the world working in something they don't love. They work because they have to, it's like an obligation. I really feel sad when I listen to somebody saying "... just two days for the weekend" or "it's friday, finally!". It's scaring. We work 8 hours a day, that is 40 hours a week (being very benevolent), then 33.3% of our day is spent at work. 

You can't waist so many hours doing something you don't love. Sleeping is an obligation (well, sometimes a pleasure too), working in something boring, lame, or that simply you don't enjoy, is not. There's no a reason you have to do something you don't love and I'm going to tell you why.

Actually, it is very easy: Follow your passions. If you work in something you are passionate about, you won't have to worry about working for the rest of your life.

Yes, sure you're saying "if it was so easy..." but it actually is. You can be thinking "... and how do I live?... How do I get money?". It's not a game or a party, we all know that, it's about business. The thing is that, if you love something, you have the unique and incredibly opportunity of being very good on it and there are plenty of ways you can monetize that.

If you love cars, what the hell are you doing as account manager in a bank? stop doing that. Quit and do it right now. There are lots of things related with cars you could work in, and there are much more possibilities you success doing that because you have a value proposition most don't: You love cars. And because of that, you know a lot about them and you'll learn faster than the others.

The great think of it is that it's applicable to anything: flowers, dancing, diving, books, movies, whatever! work hard, play harder, but do it in what you love!

It doesn't matter if it's working in a company or starting up one: follow your passions, it's the only way to be happy and it's the most secure to get paid for it.
