I simply wrote this down in words from this video I found very interesting and true.

What do you desire?
What sort of situation would you like.
What would you like to do if money is not an object. How would you really enjoy spending your life?
Well it is so amazing that as a result of our type of education system, crowds of student says: "I would like to be a painter, a writer, but as everybody knows we can't be earning any money that way. Another person says he wants to live his life riding horses.
Let's go through with this... What do you really want to do?
When we finally got down which the individual says he really want to do. I would say to him : "you do that!"
and erm.. forget the money. Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you would spend your life completing wasting your time. You would be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living that is going on doing things you don't like doing. Which is Stupid!
Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spending a miserable way.
And after all if you really do enjoy what you are doing, it doesn't matter what it is, you can eventually be a master of it. The only way to become a master of something is that you are really with it and than you will be able to get a good fee for whatever it is.
So don't worry too much, somebody is interested in something, anything you could be interested in you will find others.
But it is absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like in order to go on doing things you don't like and to teach your children following the same track.
See, what we are doing is, we are bringing up children and educating them to live the same sort of life we ended up living with. In order that they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life by bringing up their children to bring up their children so that its all wretched and we never get there.
And so, therefore it is so important to consider this question - What is that YOU desire?

i once heard of a story. bunch of kids like to play football in Mr.Smith's backyard, and always ruined his garden. Mr. Smith had to yell at them everytime and chase them. But the kids will go back again the next day. Later, Mr.Smith came up with an idea. He said to the kids that he will pay them money to play football at his backyard. The kids were very happy at first and thought they could make money while get to play at the same time. But in the end, they started to go there less and less, and eventually decided not to go anymore. Because they felt they've lost the fun to go play football for money...
I am not sure if this actually reflect reality. It might be on a very rare occasion for Mr Smith's case, because it seems to me what Mr Smith did was actually rewarding and reinforcing the kids action by paying them money. I predict if this happens on a real life scenario, Mr Smith backyard would be packed overnight.
