> “the path to fulfillment in life, to emotional satisfaction, is to find what _you_ really excites you and channel your all into it.” That reminds me - what happened with the proofreader strike again? This article is way out of touch. We know what we want, but we cannot have it because we are in a system that forces us to work. And we cannot break out of that system because of land costs. We want to go cycling. To spend time with our kids. To sit on our ass if we so choose. To help others. To stroll. But we gotta pay the rent. I guess this guy needs to spend a bit more time at the office away from his family to "achieve excellence" in basic proofreading. I wouldn't normally be so harsh but who is this guy to tell us what life should be like when he seems so out of touch.

> This article is way out of touch. It is and it isn't. People have to write articles to make money. Most articles just say things to say them because the journalists/authors have to earn their pay checks. > We know what we want, but we cannot have it because we are in a system that forces us to work. "Let them eat cake"... Exactly. We all want shelter, food, necessity and money to survive. > who is this guy to tell us what life should be like when he seems so out of touch. He's just some guy who is trying to get you to click and read his articles so that he can make money. Just like the evangelical preachers or the self-help gurus. They are all in the business of making money. Not providing insights or anything of real value.
