Making Money Isn't So Hard.

 

“Making money isn’t hard in itself.  What’s hard is to earn it doing something worth devoting one’s life to.”  [The Shadow of the Wind.]

I came across these lines written in a journal I've been keeping to track 365 days of small steps I am taking toward my next dream. They remind me that we must have whole-hearted affection for what we do; or our efforts at work will be exhausting.

To what are you devoting your life?  For what do you have affection? 

Books and language are my livelihood.  You never know what you will find when you turn the page.  Excerpt.

The Shadow of the Wind is a coming-of-age tale of a young boy who, through the magic of a single book, finds a purpose greater than himself and a hero in a man he's never met. With the passion of García Márquez, the irony of Dickens, and the necromancy of Poe, Carlos Ruiz Zafón spins a web of intrigue so thick that it ensnares the reader from the very first line. The Shadow of the Wind is an ode to the art of reading, but it is also the perfect example of the all-encompassing power of a well-told story.  Click here to read more.
