“I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun.”

Thomas Edison

Simplified Meaning:

When someone says they never worked a day in their life because it was all fun, they mean that they enjoyed what they were doing so much that it didn't feel like work. Imagine if your favorite activity, like playing a sport, drawing, or gardening, was your job. Because you love it so much, it wouldn't feel like a chore. For example, a professional basketball player who loves the game doesn't mind practicing and playing every day because it's something they truly enjoy. In this sense, “work” is something you must do, but if it’s something you love doing, you might not see it as work at all. This idea can guide people to pursue careers or hobbies that they are passionate about, making their daily responsibilities feel enjoyable rather than burdensome.
