Just emailed to my son as a must read. He's sitting in the next room, but he'll read it if I send it in email.
For those of us who have lived a good part of our adult working life, these are great words.
I work the grind and when I watch my son play the game I want him to understand and appreciate the simplicity, joy, pleasure and sheer fun. I try to convey just how lucky his is, but in reality want him to understand simply:
"You don't know how lucky you are to still be playing and the more you work hard to keep playing the less you'll have to work hard not playing, because not playing and working hard for a living just plain sucks."
