Imagine that you have one billion dollars and have done everything you want to do

Like travel around the world, eat the best sushi, live in the best houses, sleep with the most beautiful woman, win the world poker tournament, read all the books. This all dont have to take too long, maybe 3 years. Then what would you do? With all the time left.
Considering philosophy, thereotical physics, mathematics, weiqi, karate, tai chi, poker, poetry, I thought about it, I would do Oracle, I can live in the mountains and all but my mind have to have something to chew on. And programming with all its beauty, logicallness and orderliness, like a zen garden, is the place i want to be in. Weiqi is simply too taxing and gets repetitive, poker is too damn boring, philosphy maybe, karate and tai chi is too boring once mastered and how can you do karate all day?
Thus think about this question. You need to have some occupation you want to be with, you are in love with, you can tweak in your house all of the time. I suggest Oracle database. Focus on the occupation you in love with often, dont focus much on the office politics, then your life will be very fine quality as it suppose to be. Even office politics focus on your war techniques not the result like what you do at poker focus on your play not the money. Focus on what you love not the result but paradoxically move towards the result , use the dip.
