When I read that essay, I wondered why they don't teach this stuff in high school or college. Years beyond education, people are still not doing what they love. A lot people drag their feet going to jobs where they don't feel fulfilled until they finally retire.
I just wondered what inspired PG to write almost a manual on the subject. So I asked... "If you don't ask, you don't get."
