6. If you make your work your life, you’re making your life into hard work. Like most people,I confused myself by looking at people like artists and musicians whose life’s “work” fills their time. That isn’t work. It’s who they are. Unless you have some overwhelming passion that also happens to allow you to earn a living doing it, always remember that work should be a means to an end: living an enjoyable life. Spend as little time on the means as possible consistent with achieving the end. Only idiots live to work。

　　6。如果你將工作等同于生活，那么你將為工作而生活

　　和很多人一樣，當看到那些藝術家和音樂家的工作幾乎是全部的生活，我感到很困惑。其實那不是工作，那是他們的自我。除非你有無法抵擋的激情，恰巧也能讓你從中得以謀生，否則請永遠記住，工作只是一種手段，而不是目的，我們的最終目的是享受生活。在實現目的的同時，盡可能地少花時間在手段上。只有傻瓜才是為工作而生活。
