A quick warning that today’s post is a bit off topic!

My son recently turned one year old and a milestone like that gets you thinking about your life.

It is amazing having a young baby because to them everything is inspiring, new and fascinating. And when I say everything I literally mean everything fascinates them. The great thing about this is that it is infectious; it gets you looking at things in a different light and fills you with wonder about the world again.

I have been very lucky in my career in that I will not accept a day job that I do not enjoy. It is something that I believe very strongly in because if you do not love you will not put your heart and soul into it. I saw a quote from Steve Jobs once that said something like if he wakes up five consecutive days and does not look forward to work then he looks for another job. We are not all that lucky but the overall idea is a good one.

We spend so much time at work and over a lifetime it adds up to a significant proportion of your life. Do what you love and you will never have to work again.

A bit philosophical today but that never hurt anyone!
