"Do what you love and the money will follow?"

Men will supposedly be more likely to say "do what you love" is a myth and woman won't.

In my post I said doing anything other than Body Surfing was not what Dien loved. And yet you said,

> If you love surfing you
> could open a store, start a website where
> you sell books on how to surf or whatever,
> you could teach it, you could create artwork
> or greeting cards about/for surfers, etc.
> It's endless. Base it on what you love/like,
> what you're skills are, what you're willing
> to sacrifice for it, etc.

Opening a store, creating a website, selling books, or art or greeting cards, might be related to surfing - but - it's not what the love is. The love is surfing. So by doing all the above, you are not actually doing what you love.

Maybe it's because they aren't really doig what they love... but something related to it, but not it exactly.

And that could be why the different take between men and women. Women being more broad in the definition than men. And women considering they are still doing what they love when a man would not think it is.
