in reply to A Key to Excellence, Passion

I find that at the end of the day (work, school, homework, etc.) my eyes are generally too tired to stare at a puter screen any longer. I do, however, read computer books before bed...

I have great respect for people who enjoy what they do and value excellence enough to take it upon themselves to further their knowledge even when not being paid. Obviously we hope to increase our salaries by increasing our skillset or knowledgebase, but there is a further reward. In philosophy it's called internal goods .
