Workaholic

 

At the end of a long day

filled with stress and turmoil

the man heard his heart say

why all this endless toil


You work so hard

from dawn to dusk

maybe let down your guard

you ain't Elon Musk


Work is a cope

of the restless of mind

but there is still hope

you can choose to be kind


So be kind to yourself man

and your inner child within

really do whatever you can

lest the child goes Slytherin


Stop running from the true you

dreams unchased is a crime

life gives chances a few

my friend, now is the time

Working on a problem is a process of knowledge creation. So in a sense, life is a process of knowledge creation. What is a good life then? what is a happy life? It is a life where the problems you are working on, the knowledge that you are creating, are interesting to YOU. This is the key here - YOU find these problems interesting and are free of coercion in choosing these problems. This is easier said than done. I wrote about it in an earlier blog post , but I believe most misery (excluding misery due to physical pain/limitations, or psychological issues that are real e.g. ...
