But, really, you need to be prepared to work hard not just until you make it but also after. I suggest you learn to appreciate the “poetry of housekeeping.”

Ultimately, of course, if you do what you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life–and that’s kind of even better than being a millionaire.
