Great question. For me absolutely. “Do or do not” could be my motto from long before Star Wars.
I get great satisfaction in learning and honing… experiencing something: wine, bicycling, literature, music/audio, outdoor gear, photography. Fifty years ago while on college I would save up all month to buy a bottle of Bordeaux.. and spend a whole night savering it with a friend. I have ridden well over 100,000 miles on my 4 custom made bicycles, took well over 120,000 photos all over the world with my top of the line Leica, Nikon, and Fujipro cameras. Backpacked all over the country with my carefully chosen, an light weight sleeping bags, backpacks, and other outdoor gear.
Yeah, it is a personality type thing… and if I get into it… the outcome is completely predictable… you should see my wine cellar, bicycle collection, library… all completely in line with my audio system or record collection. Do or do not. I drove a cheap Datson car ($1,000) for nearly 20 years… I don’t care about cars… but a new PC every other year since ‘85.
