Answer:

The idea is that if you are doing what you love, it won't not be considered work, the philosophy comes from ancient Chinese sage Confucius, but the student considers this assertion anachronistic because job choice flexibility was sharply limited in the era of Confucius. This might affect someone's beliefs today because jobs today are still jobs. Even if you love it, there will be some downs and you are still working but s long as you love it, it won't seem as tedious.
