Aside from Hubski, I do research, which I really enjoy. Getting funds can be tough, especially in these times, but I enjoy the freedom and ability to be creative that it offers. Also, I can drink coffee, stare at a wall and think, and it's part of what I get paid do to. I'm personally skeptical of guys like Steve, however. The thing about self-help merchants is that their success is selling self-help advice, which might not work well outside of teaching people how to succeed by selling self-help advice. IMHO they often subtly make you feel deficient, so that you look for the answers outside of yourself, and thus to them. I think most people either have the personality to be bold and take risks, or create, or they need to go through a transformative experience to gain it. Or, some people just like the quiet life with routine.
