There are two best jobs, it seems to me, entrepreneurs and professors. Both of them essentially work for everyone yet no one. Both of them have a lot of freedom and take major risks. In these line of "work", there is no vacation, clock-in or out, the failures are considered learning and winning can be huge.
I am so happy I can be both.
Often, like today, it is hard to get out of bed, after all the parties, meals and tennis yesterday. But once I got up, I can't wait to get to my office and start another day of learning, teaching, planning, developing, research and helping colleague and students.
Although sometimes I complain that I put in top 1% effort but just receive top 3% income, but overall, I have to say I am extremely lucky.
Back to work.
