"It's not work when you love what you're doing." Explanation: That's one version of this thought, and another, attributed to Confucius (?) is: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Maybe in your context a variation would be good; "She didn't see her job as work, since she liked it so much." "She liked her job so much that for her it wasn't even work." |
