Love Your Work

so earlier i pulled a book from our shelf and i found a bookmark with this poem. i've read this poem a long time ago, and it's a pleasure to read it again. i just want to share it here coz it's inspiring :)

 

Love Your Work

 

If you don't like your work,

You'll need three times the energy:

To force yourself to work,

To resist the force,

And finally to work.

 

If you love your work,

Your desire to do it

Will be like a wind

To propel your ship

With much less fuel.

 

If you like your work,

You work no more--

For work, when you like it,

Is work no longer,

But sheer enjoyment!

 

If you enjoy your work,

You'll work and work

Without counting the hours--

And you'll reap and enjoy

More earnings as well.

 

-- HL Neri
