That your opinion has likely changed from this point as to what it was two years ago. In my opinion, I search for projects that have the potential to pay off very well but that are at the same time very exciting to boot. The problem with me is that I spent the first few years of my internet marketing career targeting a very low paying segment whereas if I took the same amount of time and dedication and focused it towards something that was higher paying I would probably not be in a full time job right now. That's what I think about now. Does it have the potential to make a lot of money? If yes, proceed to next question. Can I see myself pouring a lot of time into doing it? If yes then get on the horse and do it. I think you said it well. That your opinion has likely changed from this point as to what it was two years ago.

Since we derive our own identity from our surrounding society we will follow the predefined value system. Only if we achieve to separate our identity from what the society defines, money will not matter so much anymore and more happiness can be achieved on the long run. I agree with Yaro’s statement.

Or better yet, not to make it the ONLY source of motivation. I cannot comment on choosing 'tasks' related to monetary value, but I can comment on choosing a particular vocation or job based on money. While it may seem like the right answer, money truly does not buy you happiness. Money can fulfill many things, but it does not bring you piece of mind, nor does it satisfy the human need for accomplishment. I've made horrible decisions on choosing a job simply because the 'money was great'. I did enjoy the money.. but all the while I was unhappy, and longed for what I left. A truly happy man not only loves what he does, but finds the love in what he does. Great thoughts my friend.
