My favorite character Kibagami Jubei from Ninja Scroll.

The Strip above is from "Ninja Scroll" anime series volume 1.

Before this scene, Wolfman Rouga is running
away from some powerful guy. He took with him
a very important jewel. Now some bad guys are after him. And then another group og monsters
and bad guys are also after him. Everybody is after WolfMan Rouga. Jubei was sleeping nearby, and he was like having a very good dream. Everybody was slashing and fighting and jubei cudnt sleep. He figured rouga was not really a
bad guy, and he was outnumbered. Jubei jumped in and killed one of the monster bad guys with one slash.The other monster woman ran away. Wolfman Rouga was so impressed with Jubei's skill. He wanted to hire him, for he knew Jubei was the best mercenary around. Jubei refused. And he gave out a very simple reason. And he went away and continued his wandering.

Reflection:
Sometimes people think all the best skills and the best talents have a price tag. From where I come from, people need to do everything or anything just to survive. The poorest of the poor. Love it or hate it, its all the same. Its just a job. Its just work. Its just a new project. Its nothing. So just get over withit. People act like machines. People love a job because of the money, not because of love for it. People do less and never more, because work is boring and they dont really love it anyway. People want to become Nurses not because they want to serve the country or help take care of people. But because they all wanna leave the country and work overseas. And that the "pay" would multiply more than a hundred times. Very few people
here work for the love of it. Very few have the capacity to do more.
When asked to make a simple standard pencil, people will just work according to the steps and rules on how to make that standard pencil. Even in ten years, no new pencil design will come out. No change at all.
People will just work out the routine. They cannot think of better ways
to make better pencils. Because they just work like machines. They cannot deviate. And they dont "really" love making pencils. They work because they must. They must survive. And so they work for the money. Not because they love making "pencils". I cannot blame the people. I blame the corrupt government for this sh1t. The more work, the poorer people will be. The poorer the country will be. And bastart politicians get all the money. Its a sad thing that people think everybody here works for money alone, or everybody wants to get rich. And like, nobody has the right to refuse a big bad heavy offer. My friend, I am a freelancer in my hometown. But I unlike the others, I have refused so many offers. People started to hate me or dislike me for refusing. And like its some unwritten rule. I didnt like the job. And I dnt feel like doing it. I refuse, and they hate me. They think of me like im not human, and Im poor so I should just do it, because they have the money. And they look down on me like I don't have a choice to refuse sh1t. Like it was some kind of insult.Some spat words like I'm lazy, or overly proud, or like I choose a job that's easy, or Im picky with work, and like I only want high paying sh1t. Its not very good to hear, but im used to it.Those Bastards, hehe.I just mind my own stuff. Mind your own business, that's the rule. Last month, I met an old friend. We haven't met for like 2 years now. He tried to tell me something. To leave the things that I like, and get another job, enroll for another course or just pick something that would make me rich, even if I dont like it. He tells me, I'm poor because I insist on doing what I love. And I insist on a job that I like. His advice was to for me to just pick a job, even If I dont like it. Even If I find it boring. Even if its not what Im good at. Even if I have no passion for it.. as long as it pays good money. I told him, that's a good plan, but in mind and heart was against it.I didnt like the idea, so I told him frankly that Id stick to what I like doing, even if it does not make big big money. He told me I'd never get rich if think like that. He was laughing at me. He didnt even ask me if I wanted to be mr. rich. I didnt wanna argue so I smiled and kept my silence. And we parted ways. I work for money. We work for money. But its shitty if we work, for money and money alone. You can never be a good swordsman if you have no passion for swordsmanship in your heart. You can never play good music, if you do not love music. You can never be a good artist if you have no passion for art. Art inspires you, so you love art. Learn the technicality of the tools and master the craft. Express the creativity within you and inspire others like you. Open the mind of others as you have opened yours. You need to survive ... don't worry, you will survive. Anyhow, you have a choice. That is the point.

Note:
Kibagami Jubei is my favorite anime character.
his first appearance was in Ninja Scroll (Movie) by Yoshiaki Kawajiri.
The movie is a masterpiece. You should see it.
