Montaigne once said that he hoped death found him planting his cabbages, and there's immense wisdom in that: the only way to live without regret is to do things so intrinsically meaningful that even if rudely interrupted by death you would not think you had wasted your time

Your best performances will come when you are working in a way that is a full expression of you. The work becomes a natural display of your personality. This is when you not only get better results, but also love the activity — because in doing the craft, you feel alive.
