Depends on the persons soul. Depends on if your nature is constructive or destructive.

If you go in with the attitude that work is hell and humiliation, that's what life is going to give you.

I mean... Maybe the things I'd LIKE to work on are getting my car around the race track faster. Very few people will pay me for that - especially if I'm not a very good driver. But I enjoy it immensely. I'd MUCH rather do that than work.

And right now, due to having to work, maintenance on my house is a bit behind.. Would also prefer to catch up on that - but again, no one is paying me to do that.

That's still work, if you're doing it seriously enough.

Your misunderstanding is separating this in your mind.
