I love searching in the bush for Diamond Willow (hiking) sticks; I call it "Pure Art by Mom Nature" because of its natural beauty. I enjoy working on my website to sell them, and make a little profit doing so. PLUS, I sell most of them "unfinished" so my worldwide customers finish them the way THEY like them, and sell them finished. Everybody wins and everybody is happy. </p>Ken LaningaTue, 12 May 2009 22:03:23 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-4221290<p>You have a vision that you complete with a diagram.

When people pay you (or your parents give you money) what do you spend it on?</p><p>The median income of people on the planet is $850/year. And contrary to popular belief, the median income earner is not poor. Everything above that amount is going towards unnecessary luxuries. Think about that.</p><p>Could you make $850/year as an artist? A comedian? Then do it! And cut out some unnecessary luxuries (like shoes).</p><p>Also, remember that when you spend the money you make, you are paying someone else's salary. What if that person is not doing what they love? Then they are your economic slave, in a sense.</p>David FrayneThu, 27 Nov 2008 09:33:02 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-4036432<p>Pick two</p>Joseph SmithThu, 27 Nov 2008 03:40:17 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-4032760<p>The hardest shit is finding out what you love to do and that requires experiments, living life and asking yourself questions... something called living through your 20 somethings.</p><p>so... go out and play,</p><p></p>Allison ClarkWed, 26 Nov 2008 19:59:32 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-4029464<p>Even simpler: find people who are in those overlapping areas and get in touch with them.</p>SarahWed, 26 Nov 2008 15:42:21 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-4019823<p>Read "Is Your Genius at Work?" by Dick Richards.</p>ThinkingManWed, 26 Nov 2008 01:51:04 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-4015579<p>Love this!!</p>ZuraTue, 25 Nov 2008 19:04:23 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-4011935<p>Ah, the overlapping bubble chart!

Specifically, Gladwell mentions that some of the garment manufacturers in the early 20th century did back breaking work, but it was meaningful work. Otherwise it would have seemed like a prison sentence. There were clear relationships between input and reward, which make work satisfying.</p><p>I'm 24, and I'm currently trying to figure out what to do with myself. I have things I'm good at, and things I like doing, but I dunno about love, or passion. Like you with comedy, I'm currently thinking about directing films. In Outliers, Gladwell says it takes about 10 years or 10,000 hours of practice to become elite at what you want to do. You usually have to be passionate and lucky to be able to do anything you like for 10,000 hours if it doesn't pay very well or at all during the practice or incubation period. I'm hoping maybe I can have a side business to fund myself while I do the directing. Hopefully...</p>hisnameisjimmyMon, 24 Nov 2008 23:18:08 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-3993880<p>this is really great and is certainly is true. why do something you do not love to do?</p>mattressMon, 24 Nov 2008 16:08:38 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-3979849<p>Finally afer years of competeing for the position, I did what I loved and was good at, trobleshooting electronics. But, bad circuit baords were deemed disposable so I studied computer science. Like a fool I went to a "party school" and I got put on probation as I graduated. Now I loved the programming puzzel but they made me stay around for two years. My livlyhood was terminated but my parents WERE rich so started to do art and I made a web site to program and display the art. My expression ran out and the economy rendured my funds gone. So I like the ideas here but what comes next. Ironically America finds itself introuble right along side me? So I share that with you. Feel free to visit <a href="http://www.slicksway.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.slicksway.com">www.slicksway.com</a>. My contributions are art, liturature, and science, but I have many years to go. I love the ideas here.</p>S GreenMon, 24 Nov 2008 01:34:24 -0000Re: Iridesco Watercooler - Whenever I hear someone says, “do what you love”,...http://watercooler.iridesco.com/post/60702899#comment-3962961<p>Then hot damn, I'm lucky to be a passionate, professional, and paid programmer. That's some good shit.</p>theY4KmanSat, 22 Nov 2008 20:50:46 -0000
