Re: "fun" is the opposite of "important"

I think you're pretty much right on about the way many people think. There are
some, though, who love what they do and almost feel guilty about getting paid for
it, they're having so much fun. I think this has a lot to do with the kinds of
choices you've made, and the attitude you have walking in to those choices.

Some people are just gonna make themselves have fun no matter what they're doing.
