She was a woman who chose the words carefully, one after another, explaining, sharing, teaching, so much so that even though I was not interested in buying insurance, I could not help but listen. The melodious voice and the intent with which she spoke was like a dance, a melodious song to my senses &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Happened to you? Did it happen to you that you met someone who talked so passionately about their work that you end up falling for it? Well &#8230; the conversation I told you about only happened in my imagination :).<\/p>\n<p>I remember my father saying we should surrender to work, we should love what we do. Long before facebook would be full of thoughts urging you to give it your best, my father insisted and shared much of the philosophy of these times saying you should love your work, whatever it is you do &#8230; the truth is that I always thought that was a consolation of fools, but now I realize the depth of it &#8230; and is that if you really do not enjoy what you are doing, it&#8217;s better not to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to the original story &#8230; Is it possible? Is it possible to live this passion with one&#8217;s work? You believe that? I would like to hear you (ie read you).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile I leave you with a picture of my father&#8217;s garden. Rarely in my life have I seen a man hold onto nature with such love, memories of him still remain at home and do nothing but cheer my senses when I see it.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_382\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/carolasolis.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/147.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-382\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-382\" title=\"Entrada del cuarto peque\u00f1o\" src=\"http:\/\/carolasolis.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/147.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"http:\/\/carolasolis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/147.jpg 800w, http:\/\/carolasolis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/147-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-382\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Entrada de la peque\u00f1a habitaci\u00f3n<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<div class='kouguu_fb_like_button'><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https:\/\/carolasolis.com\/blog\/2013\/03\/22\/the-art-of-working-i\/&#038;layout=standard&#038;show_faces=false&#038;width=450&#038;height=25&#038;action=like&#038;colorscheme=light&#038;\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px;\"><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was speaking with a woman who sold insurance, when I started to actually listen to her, to really pay attention to the words she was saying and how much deference to her work she was giving, (it was not like any salesperson and I have met many of them, have received many calls and \/ or visits until almost midnight, insisting, insisting on selling, but really just insisting, no soul, only sell to sell), she was a passionate woman with what he did.
