I like to teach my students English through inspiring words. Please let me know if the following two sentences are natural.

The greatest job is when you can�t tell the difference between work and recreation.

The greatest career is the one where hobby and profession are the same things.

Thanks a lot!

[Mister Micawber]

The greatest job is where / the one in which you can�t tell the difference between work and recreation.

The greatest career is the one where / in which hobby and profession are the same thing.

But yield who will to their separation
My object in life is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes
Is the deed ever really done
For heaven and the future's sakes.

Thanks Mr. Micawber and CP. Is it also natural to say:

The greatest job is the one where you can�t tell the difference between work and recreation.

The greatest career is the one where your hobby and profession are the same.

And also anyone there could recommend me some websites where you could find some inspiring and motivated words that are written in simple or plain English? I found that�s a great way to teach and learn good English.
