Proud or Unproud

I realized that every time I describe what it is that I do, I describe it awkwardly without confidence or the same zeal and passion I feel for it on the inside. I'm good at what I do. I like what I do. People graduate from all sorts of prestigious schools and get atypical jobs. Musicians. Actors. Athletes. Is this what I want to do with my life? no. There is nothing that I want to do for the rest of my life. I only know what feels right right now. My job allows me to use my reason, creativity, and cleverness to outwit my competition as well as meeting my financial goals.

Intellectual sport

Poker to me is an intellectual contest. A lot of my co-workers do the job for the money. I like the challenge, creativity, imagination, analysis that goes into playing poker well. I think that gives me an advantage over my co-workers. I treat it more purely and see it as more than just a money generating venture. I believe that as long as I follow my interests, the money will follow.
