I was watching CNN the other day and they had a gentleman on who knew a lot about business and was giving advice to people who might be interested in starting one in this economy. One thing he said really struck out — “you should focus on something you love, because in order to succeed in a business you really have to have passion for what you do.”
That really goes for anything you do.
That’s why I strongly feel that what you do in life says a lot about who you are as a person. Your career choices, the degree you received in college, who you work for, ext. ext.
I have a set of goals that I want to achieve in life. These goals are mainly focused around my career. Many people these days — even college graduates — are lacking goals. And the reason they don’t have goals is because they’re not passionate about what they’re doing.
So, do you have a career plan? Do you have goals? If so, what are you doing to reach them?
Moral of the story — if you don’t love what you do, then you shouldn’t be doing it. Find something you enjoy (and that you’re good at) and stick with it.
