And he was right. But that was from turning a love and desire
into a profession and striving to reach the top, all the while
aware of the care and duty involved. After the first decade at
the top, one discovers that the joy, delight and wonder have
fled. THe next two decades become wearying and an increasing
source of cynicism. BEFORE that happens, I suspect people need
to discover a new passion (or re-discover an old one).
