I can see where you're coming from but sometimes short term fun can have negative long term consequences.
Long-term consequences can be fun if you make it so. /hj
They're saying that you can and should make everything you do a fun experience. Don't like your boring machinist job? Make a game out of measuring everything. Beat your high score for the tightest tolerance.

Your attitude and your perception of how things are can greatly influence how you experience things.
