On the run

The last few days have been hectic which is pretty okay for me overall as busy depends on experience. Once upon a time in a life barely remembered, I would never have predicted that I of all people would be doing this much work in a day. And the strangest piece of the puzzle is that I quite enjoy it.

Well, it isn't so strange of considering out from a flow experience perspective where challenge is just above skill level which makes us stretch and therefore, improve. The more we learn, the more we can do, the more we do, the more we van learn. And the cycle continues.

Doing what one loves doesn't necessarily pay the bills unless what one loves happens to be n area that attracts income. While some people find those who keep working when they don't need the money to be greedy, that is not necessarily the case as the financial gains is a product of the work.

Loving what one does shouldn't reduce the value of what is done in the eyes of a buyer but often does. While people are happy to pay for work performed, they don't necessarily want to pay for people to enjoy that work.

In some way it is the same as those who devote themselves to charity work. We would rather pay an actor 20 million to make a movie than a charity worker 1 million to do 19 million worth of work that no one else wants to do. The numbers don't matter but wouldn't it make more sense to reward behaviours we want more of, wouldn't it attract highly skilled workers?

We tend to pay those who look after people like nurses and teachers much less than those who look after things. A strange concept really. I don't see it changing anytime fast though as we tend to think that people should do what they love for the love of it alone.

I see that for those who work doing what they love in a field that attracts finacial gain as pretty lucky as the by product of their love work is money. It is looking of like the firewood that piles up if someone lives chopping wood with an axe.

Anyway, I am on the run so this post is some very random thoughts thrown together and I might add to it later.

Back to work :)
