Being your own boss means you start working, stop working or interrupt working when ever you love to. No other "boss" makes decisions for you or about you.
Being your own boss means accepting the full burden of work, accepting all responsibility, accepting all liability. But being your own boss also means enjoying the full freedom to do what you love to do, when you love to do, how you love to do your job.
Working in nature like the rice farmer here - all alone - setting his own speed , deciding his own breaks, being in peace with himself, God and all world definitely is a great joy in life. Whatever results out of your work is what you and only you have done and achieved.
If someone tells me "my father is farmer" or rice farmer, then I have such picture in mind and I know that that daughter or son has reason to be proud of his/her father and mother. Farmers may have a simple life, but being your own boss is a reward far above millions of $ per year. No salary ever can pay you equally to the situation of such a farmer doing his job in freedom and in wild clean nature.
This farmer knows b y the end of his life time that he has done zero harm to the planet, zero harm to the society, to the environment or to nature. All he has done is working hard to feed thousands of others with the healthiest and most nature food - with God made food.
