the worth of work

My boss called me to her desk and let me read this from an art book that she’s going to give a painter friend of hers. Sabi ko, parang gusto niyo na ako magresign ah. :P

The Worth of Work

My key to a happy life is to love your work. There are many, many 9-to5'ers, clock-watchers who can hardly wait for the weekends. I feel very fortunate to be blessed with a skill that makes me anxious, when i wake up, to get into my studio to feel the joy creating. When I look in the mirror, shaving myself, I say, "The big guy upstairs has given you another day of fun and games-squeeze it all out and give thanks that life is so sweet."
