Work is Work. Period.

I don't get why people still fuss over choosing courses during college about what they want to do or what they want to become in life. Remember the "Kung san ka masaya 'te, supportahan taka" commercial? I think that's retarded.

First of all, work is not supposed to be enjoyable. Tolerable, yes. But enjoyable, no. Even if you say you do have fun at work, I know there's always something else better you would like to do where you will have more fun. Don't lie. Would you rather be doing work that you love or sitting on the couch watching TV or anything else you might find relaxing? That's right. What we have is an illusion that you're weaving around your work or some dream work you want for you to actually want to work.

Here's a thought. If I love my work so much, would I even ask to get paid for it? No. Because if I love something enough, asking money for the very act of doing what you love in return is hypocritical. The same idea applies for work.

Even if you say you love something, like say writing, and you take up journalism, somewhere along the years you spend working, you'll find that writing isn't so much fun anymore. Specially when you're doing it for money and not just "wanting to do it". You'll be forced to churn up stuff for work that you won't have created if it were just a hobby. You lose heart, because you know its hard to love something youve whored out for money. Sellout poisoning. Then you quit. You now have no job. No money. And the one thing you love, you can't love anymore.

Do you think I'm lying? Ask any friend who's worked in a company that has anything to do with porn. Porn is something that any man with hormones can enjoy. But see how these guys who work for what they enjoy react about it.

So maybe you'll ask me, what should be used to determine what field you should be entering. Go back to the primeval technique used by humans before they started turning into pussies who keep on whining about what they want.

Think of what you can do best.

That's right. Lumberjacks didn't become what they are during the middle ages. These guys chopped wood because their bodies were suitable at it. Work gets done easier because of this and as a reward, they get to go home earlier. Boom. More time for things that you really want. You dont see them making up lumberjack appreciation wards or lumberjack guild dinner just to make themselves happy. Not even coffee mugs.

Same goes for you. What do you do best? For my case, early in life I knew I just had to exploit what I could do best to maximize my potential. But apparently, masturbation had no real market so I chose computer programming instead, which pays good too.

Work is work and rest is rest. Shit is shit and chocolate is chocolate.

It'd be foolish to try and mix the pairs when they're clearly not one and the same.

Because what you want is almost always never equal to what you need.
