But it would have been so much better if we could live life in reverse so to speak. If we had the knowledge of old age when we were young what a difference it would make. But now I'm just being fanciful.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-19636151861409773752009-11-29T18:18:23.556+13:002009-11-29T18:18:23.556+13:00You make a good point regarding the exhortation to...You make a good point regarding the exhortation to 'Follow your bliss' as they say - you have importantly identified the problems in doing so - I think your fathers pragmatic approach is a good compromise in an imperfect world - but if you can swing it so that your livelihood is also your great passion and interest then 'Hooray' is the right word to use.Alden Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601028197387499096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-36806406514011448202009-06-15T19:51:28.149+12:002009-06-15T19:51:28.149+12:00I know what you mean, Dan.

I can even enjoy the system and sensations (especially on a cold evening) of doing the washing-up.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-72822107824340576612009-06-15T18:41:39.514+12:002009-06-15T18:41:39.514+12:00That's an interesting Venn Diagram.

Approached with interest and curiosity, many tasks become less onerous.
