that's true
work tastes better when you don't need the money
I'm always impressed with Roobet's art contests
there's true talent here on the forum, for sure
lots of good submissions on each round
Well, you have hit the nail on the head, for me a job that is done because one likes it and not for the money is when the person is happy, or that they enjoy their work so much, that what they cook lives from it, that It reminds me a lot of the advice that Robert Kiyosaki gives, where he says that if a person lives from what he likes, he will be successful forever, it is very sad to do something that you do not like just to receive money, it is something that I do not want nobody, because there is unhappiness, it is something that is not good, despite the fact that they have money, but the person is not happy, so if one makes art it is because they like it, and it is as you say here in the forum there are very large artists.
I think the only situation where it should be ok to work in something only for the money is if you're doing it for a temporary time and plan to change your situation soon, would still be hard to sustain and not sure if it's worth it, it'll vary from situation to situation
sometimes one can work a lot for, let's say, 5 years and then be set for decades.
