Many creative individuals often emphasize how they enjoy their work as if it were play. For those who choose challenging tasks that don’t guarantee success, the joy that work itself brings is the greatest reward they can’t give up. Interviews with people who are captivated by their work rather than money and fame reveal that play and work are surprisingly similar. They even say that work is easier to enjoy than leisure.

Work is done for money, but play is done even if you have to pay for it. Work tires people out, but play excites them. When you treat work like play, you don’t feel tired and it’s just fun and enjoyable. You naturally get immersed in it, and as a result, the outcomes turn out well.
