How to do what you love
How to do what you love
- Realize that you can love work
- Most of the time, a college student would be wrong about knowing what he loves – working on severely limited information
- Seek jobs that let you do many different things, so you can learn faster what various kinds of work are like
- Constraints give your life shape, remove them and most people don’t know what to do – lottery winners
- Always produce
- Do a good job to make sure you’re not using dissatisfaction as an excuse for being lazy – gets into the habit of doing things well.
- Finding work you love requires discipline.
- Don’t be distracted by prestige and money.
