So I did it again, this time doing what I really loved, working on ships and being my retarded self on an international basis. That worked, because having done it before, I knew that having a passion only carries so much fulfillment. There has to be more, and it's almost impossible to teach that to the young. <br /><br /> Aging me is a 45-year old with a hot foreign wife and a well-adjusted son who still likes ships and working on them, but passion evolves. Whether it's in marriage or in work, or a hobby, passion must grow or stagnate, and in growing, is fundamentally changed into something less intense but far better. My job is my job now, and my passion is my family and enjoying whatever days are set aside for me in this life. It helps to really like what I do, but I feel bad for the young who are 'all about the job' and missing out on so much in the meanwhile. <br />Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-2625669789680778002019-08-17T14:46:46.215-07:002019-08-17T14:46:46.215-07:00A simple case of believing that jobs and passion a...A simple case of believing that jobs and passion are a common mix.
