the right work ethic.

while we all hope to do the thing we love, we often have to make the compromise of doing the thing we hate, in the interim, until we have the means to support our real passions. in the circle of common wisdom this is called "being wise." work is such a burden for many because it is not what they imagined doing with the hours of their life in the starlit dreams of childhood. the work is a demotion from ambition and so they treat it as such. i treat it as such.
the truth is that no job is really beneath us. not if its aim is not to exploit and it aids in the building up of the world and not the breaking down of moral, financial or mental pillars that can set the world aright. the rule is "first do no harm." we will not spend our whole lives in the doldrums of an unwanted job,hopefully, but the places we pass on the road to el dorado will give us the character to appreciate the real value of time and effort. at the end the road of the journey is the destination in little parts. every part has its value and it should be treated as such.
the attitude to have is one of learning through the ups and downs. life is designed as a series of lessons,lectures. try to show up for every class.
