It's hard to find work you love; it must be, if so few do.
If you think something's supposed to hurt, you're less likely to notice if you're doing it wrong.
It's easy to imagine having passion for something; the hard part is the doing.
The test of whether people love what they do is whether they'd do it even if they weren't paid for it—even if they had to work at another job to make a living.
