Thank you. That helps. Maybe I will re-write the post one day to give it a more natural and humble tone.

With my blogpost, I didn't mean that you should put work before your family and friends (or at least didn't want to mean that). I didn't mean that playing a good videogame is a waste of time if that makes you feel better. I t

Thank you both for the responses. It was my intention to hear the opinion of the HN community. But, may you agree or not with my post, I believe a good discussion should always be about giving some constructive feedback in a friendly tone.

You said it well: "What I cited there are not "work" per say as coined in most people's mind as the dreary 8 hour work life." And yes, I understand your point: work can be enjoyed to the point it feels like a videog

Ok. That's a valid argument.

by danielflopes 13y ago
Ok. But I don't say the contrary - doing those things can also make you happy. But using our job to achieve our life goals is one of the best ways to achieve happiness, in my opinion. Thank you

I consider myself to have a good life. I'm not always in the office working, and I actually spend a lot of time working out and taking care of my best friends and meeting new people. I only try to minimize doing what in nothing contrib

I agree with the people side. I forgot to insert that point on my post. But I don't agree that your achievements aren't also one of the biggest sources of happiness. If that weren't true, why did so much people obsessed with

I picked Sam Walton because I've been reading his auto biography, and he seems to be a good example of someone who really loved his job. Also, his family didn't consider him an absent father. He was someone who managed to merge hi

That may be true - "the present hacker zeitgeist" may disagree with my point of view. Today there's an emerging trend towards working less and spending more time with family and your hobbies (in some way, the newest book from
