Don't monetize what matters to you

You know, there's that school of thought that says that you should try to, you know, do what you love and get paid for it. Get paid to do what you love doing. But in my opinion, try to get paid to do what you're good at because you're bound to get satisfaction from doing what you're good at. But don't mix what you love doing with money. It just messes it up.

As far as possible, the thing that you get paid to do should mean very little to you except that you make money from it. But the stuff that's important to you, don't mix it with money. Honestly, I in my opinion, it messes things up.
