The Tutor PodcastI Do It To Do It
In this episode Neil talks about how working in the occupation you love and gaining energy from is difficult to relinquish. In fact, should we really retire at all if we gain so much impetus from a job that we love?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We are all at our best when we are useful to other people.
- The work itself is the reward if you enjoy your job. Why give that up?
- Don’t let society, or anyone else, talk you into doing less than your best work and especially not into giving it all up.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Now that he’s retiring he doesn’t feel useful anymore and it's eating him up inside. I totally get it.’
‘Is retirement a good thing? Let's suppose that after years of work, challenge and growth, achieved mastery of your craft, you’re at the top of your game and it's still tremendously fun for you. Why would anyone want to stop when you’ve finally got it down like that?’
‘Given that the vast majority of people hate their jobs, and they’re not having much fun, why would anybody in their right mind take tips like that from unhappy people?’
