What loving your job does for you

[pphalan]

The rich industrialist from the north was horrified to find the southern fisherman lying lazily beside his boat, smoking a pipe.
"Why aren't you out fishing?" said the industrialist.
"Because I have caught enough fish for the day," said the fisherman.
"Why don't you catch some more?"
"What would I do with it?"
"You could earn more money," was the reply.
"With that you could have a motor fixed to your boat to go into deeper waters and catch more fish. Then you would make enough money to buy nylon nets. These would bring you more fish and more money. Soon you would have enough money to own two boats...maybe even a fleet of boats. Then you would be a rich man like me."
"What would I do then?"
" Then you would really enjoy life."
"What do you think I am doing right now?"

I love it when my customers have a realization that I'm not into building computers for the money. I had a lady today tell me, "You're not in it for the money - you just love building them." - She had me pegged. It's true, but I still make some money. I told her the only money I make is off the parts which is $1-$10 per part as I don't charge any labor. But there are up to 20 parts on a computer... It's enough for me :) I enjoy learning about new parts and building systems for people - it makes them happy. They like how I am cheap and they're happy with the systems they get in return. Not to mention that the parts are some that money can buy for as little as they want to pay. I'm fixing to build this computer, probably Friday I'll order the parts, for $250. She'd rather go through me, then spend $400-$500 elsewhere. :D

:)) Yes enjoy what the Lord has given you. If he has given you a gift to help others do so and the Lord will bless you.


God bless you.
