I believe in maniacs. I believe in type As. I believe that you’ve got to love your work so much that it is all you want to do. I believe you must betray your mistress for your work, you betray your wife for your work; I believe that she must betray you for her work. I believe that work is the one thing in the world that never betrays you, that lasts. If I were going to be a politician, if I were going to be a scientist, I would do it every day. I wouldn’t wait for Monday. I don’t believe in weekends.
If you’re headed for a life that’s only involved with making money and that you hope for satisfaction somewhere else, you’re headed for a lot of trouble. And whatever replaces vodka when you’re 45 is what you’re going to be doing.

Yo, Tenzin La, I believe you are a workaholic and that’s a compliment. Wow, betray your mistress for work? Yo, that would be hard for me.(he,he). I think it would depend on the type of work cos most people work for money. Our entire societies are engineered that way per illuminati. I love your passion. peace!
