I love my non-job or I love what I don't do

Value investing is as much about doing nothing as it is about doing something. What I do everyday is read to expand my circle of competence. Often times, I hear people say I love my work, or I love what I do. I'd rather invert this statement because as a value investor, I love what I don't do, or I love my non-work. Value investing is about doing nothing intelligently. Being able to sit on a stock for three years watching paint dry is even more important than knowing how to decompose the ROE using the Dupont model.
