It is a simple mathematical fact that if you get married one year and have twins the next, your household will contain over a million people within 20 years.

That sounds like a great example of the difference between people who love their job and see it as an opportunity to meet interesting people, and someone who hates their job and just grudgingly draws a paycheck.
