Now there are…….Individuals who would rather perish than work without taking pleasure in their work; They are choosy…And have no use for ample rewards if the work is not itself the reward of rewards….They do not fear boredom as much as work without pleasure; Indeed, they need a lot of boredom if their work is to succeed. For….all inventive spirits, boredom is that disagreeable “lull” of the soul that precedes a happy voyage and cheerful winds.
Friedrich Nietzsche (50th Law)
