Having complete freedom to spend one's own time would be great, but I still felt somehow sad about the article. One has a normal job where one can contribute to something useful (like Amazon, they run an online shop, which is useful for society), and then one day the person trades it for "pursuing your passion", in other words she will now spend her day for wellness, blogging or other hobbies. But I don't want to say anything bad about her, but generally, what do you guys think about such an attitude? What's so honorable about that?
