"**A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play**; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. **He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing**. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.
—L. P. Jacks" ([Location 2467](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B01A6EQFZ8&location=2467))
