I know a lot of people that work jobs that they love, because they love it, and the money is decent but not the overriding facet of their existence - in fact, most anyone who's been successful at anything will tell you point blank that the money was nice but was not the primary motivation at why they kept at it, or pursued it further.

I would have slacked till FIRED 😁Ohhh late today 2hour lunches staring at the walls.. ..the normal YOU'RE FIRED stuff

I only play when it's big, and I never say things like "if I won the lottery [blank]."
