I read two books that influenced my life's philosophy greatly about 30 years ago. The titles were "Guerilla Tactics in the Job Market" and "How to Make a Habit of Succuss". I don't remember which one of the two said it, but it was stunning to me. Find something you'd do for free, then find someone who will pay you to do it. There in lies the key to happiness and success. So if you can't think of a program you'd write for free, just for the fun of it, just because the idea challenges you, you probably should find something else to do in life. You've chosen the wrong path. You may make a living, hammering out uninspired code, and getting a paycheck. You won't enjoy your life, if you will only do it for pay. Very few understand this truth, and they are the happy few. Randy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
