Now that I look back on it having retired from being a reporter it was kind of romantic. It was a wonderful way to live one's life just as I imagined it would be when I was 6 or 7.
How often I have found that we grow to maturity not by doing what we like but by doing what we should. How true it is that not every 'should' is a compulsion and not every 'like' is a high morality and true freedom.
