Den som mestrer kunsten at leve
skelner ikke meget mellem
sit arbejde og sin leg,
sit job og sin fritid,
sin ånd og sit legeme,
sine studier og sin afslapning,
sin kærlighed og sin religion.
Han ved knapt nok,
hvad der er hvad.
Han er ganske enkelt optaget
af sin vision for det fremragende,
uanset hvad han foretager sig,
og han overlader til andre at afgøre,
om han er optaget af leg eller arbejde,
for ham er det det samme.

The master in the art of living
makes little distinction between
his work and his play,
his labour and his leisure,
his mind and his body,
his information and his recreation,
his love and his religion.
He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of excellence
at whatever he does,
leaving others to decide
whether he is working or playing.
To him he is always doing both.
James Michener
