I am very passionate about...

[Einstein Jnr]

...nothing really. I read all these startup stories of how their work is their passion, or how to align your passion with what you do and it doesn't feel like work.

I do the work I do cause it has a good rate and I am bloody good at it, but it's not really what I would want to do. I like to take pictures once in a while - but not to a point of anything to brag about, cycle every now and then but not to a point of crossing the country in a day, play some golf (no handicap).

I love to blow bubbles and see my 9 month daughter smile with her single tooth - can't really make money off that.

Just curious if you have found your passion and live the dream.

I like hanging about in public toilets and cottaging sites at the side of the road. It doesn't pay the bills but I find it relieves the stress and I enjoy it.

I find that what these people really mean is

I am passionate therefore you should be passionate, work for more hours and less money than you could get elsewhere

To make me more money.

I've been contracting 30 years this year. Wine, women and fast cars have prolonged my working life somewhat longer than I originally anticipated.

I still get a decent wedge for doing what comes easily to me, the enthusiasm and ambition went a long time ago though.

I'm looking forward to quitting in a couple of years and never getting paid to sit at a keyboard again. I'm happiest tinkering with old cars and making stuff which is what I plan to do for the rest of my life.

So have you given up on women? Resorting to full blown in your retirement life?

Very good. Looking forward to more wine, women and fast cars when I quit. Just don't tell the missus....
