Live to work, or work to live? Which is it? Ever get confused on that score? I know I have done so. I often used to subscribe to the former, that is, I lived to work. I derived great joy and satisfaction and meaning in my life through work.

            

Then one day a good industry friend explained that he didn’t live to work. Instead, he worked so that he could afford his life. I thought he had his priorities wrong. That was just a corporate drone’s approach to life and work. Now I am not so sure. Maybe I just worked too much and devoted too little time to the other dimensions of life. If I have done so, I don’t intend to continue doing so.

 

 

            

With that said, I do still like to work. There are Ants and Grasshoppers, according to Aesop, and I am an Ant. I love inventing. I get a rush from creating new toys and discovering new technologies that delight and amaze. I enjoy the challenge of what we do, and I love the team that I have the pleasure to work with each day. I am constantly amazed at what they do.
