Enter only such field of study Or only such profession Or only such job or line of work If intrinsically rewarding it is for you. Shun it if it interests not thee Bring it though it may to you Wealth, prestige, and power For it'll not enrich your soul. Doing the work you love You'll be so fulfilled, so fulfilled You will scorn to trade it Even for the estate of kings. Doing the work you love You'll be so fulfilled, so fulfilled Stress and worry will be at bay As you will be in flow, in the zone. But most are timid and fearful Opting for safety and security Only to realize towards the end What a bad bargain they struck. Few indeed are those who are wise Choosing to follow their metier And discover towards the end They did not do that badly after all. Long story short, to enjoy your work Do only such work that you enjoy doing.

Know Thyself 
This speaks to something I have strongly felt and struggled with my whole life…Someone needs to tell us this when we are still young, before we commit to a profession based on what is expected due to myriad reasons, other than our genuine passion.
