What’s the secret to an endless vacation?

才跟人讨论过10年内的人生大计,就看到这样的文章

其实我这样的人未必是少数,只是在某个特定的圈子里不见得有很多。或者应该说,物以类聚还是千古真理,反正我是见过不少。

Find a reason. Most transients have a portable career that allows them to travel freely. They’re consultants, freelancers or teachers, for example. But there are other ways to make money when you’re nomadic. In 2006, Tiffany Owens and her husband became full-time property caretakers. Both had been frustrated with their former careers — she was a magazine editor and he was a cable installer — and needed a break. “Now, I garden instead of sitting in boardroom meetings,” she says. “I couldn't be happier.”

对于以上这一段,尤其受启发。而更想知道的是,在他们成为consultants, freelancers, teachers之前,他们都经历了什么。
以前对于人物传记挺不屑的,现在觉得这其实是有意义的,遗憾的是,那些真正感兴趣的,能够从中受益的人生却往往默默无闻无法流传。

另外的一件事,也更加坚定了我10年人生大计的信念。
既然能够成为怎样的人和想要成为怎样的人都已经确定,那就千万记得独善其身,无可避免或者之类的都是无可避免的借口。
要好好考虑赚钱的问题了。
