Adding 5 more days to a week!

"Find a job u love and u will add 5 more days to a week"

They said. And i agreed.

    But what is that exactly meant by job we love. Is it a job with high technical challenge, or with a good package. Is it being with like minded people,  is it the job which needs us learning new things every day. Or is it a job which we can complete easily without any pressure. Is it with which gives us name/fame. Is it a job where no one will ask any status update, in other words you being your own boss.  Its very difficult to find an objective answers to these kind of subjective topics.

    When ever i think of job or career , I remember my music teacher. The way he enjoys his work. Each time when he plays the music, I can sense the  enjoyment/satisfaction in him. He is doing the same since last 20 years, 9 hours a day. The joy of learning new and practicing the learnt.  He says he'll forget time/food, every thing when he music. Surely he did not choose music for making money. While all students were sitting in class aiming for a degree and a secured job to en-cash the degree, he bunked his school to practice music with only aim of learning it. I think all kinds of artist are same. When ever i go for class, I'm not sure how much music I learn but I'll come back with a kind of motivation by seeing him, and also a big question in my head. The work we do, writing a piece of software code, are we considering this as an art. If we see the tech-revolution and the latest gadgets like iPads galaxies tablets, software is really not lesser than any kind of art. The question is how many of us involve ourselves while doing our work to an extent to forget time/food. When we were in school, most of us never knew what the software was but we wanted to become an computer science engineer. How can some one wants to become some thing, with out knowing any thing about it. The only thing we knew about software was the monetary benefits that comes along with it, the money part. If this job paid us, say 10k/month, would we choose it. I liked the system in many countries where all the jobs are paid almost same salary, so generally people wont get a second thought to pursue their career of their interest.

    Lets consider agriculture.The most ancient job we humans have been doing. There is no doubt we are doing it for money, to survive(that is why its called farming, otherwise its called as gardening). I'm not sure how much they enjoy farming. But being from agricultural family, one thing I can say that farming has became an integral part of their life.

    What ever it may be we all are enjoying our job. In office we will surrounded with like minded, same aged people(In other industries it is difficult to find), we enjoy spending time with them, we enjoy the coffee time, office outings, parties, technical challenges, meeting, lunches, dinners, week ends etc etc. So again the question arises, are we really enjoying the work or working environment!.

    Lets clarify ourselves by asking a simple question. If we were given an huge amount of some few crores, what we are going to do. If the first thing that comes to our mind is "I will quit my job and....  .", then I think the question of loving job will be answered. Given this amount, I'm 100% sure that neither the music teacher will quit from  music nor my father will quit from farming!!.

Or in other way if u think that, with that amount you'll hire few best developers in market try implementing your dream product(Here I'm specific abt S/W, it will apply to specific fields), then you are already in love with your work and already adding 5 more days to all weeks !
