Do Something Exciting


"What is it that you like doing? If you don't like it, get out of it, because you'll be lousy at it."
--Lee Iacocca

What are you passionate about? What makes you want to high five someone? If you can answer this then you are on the way to finding your ideal job. Most people aren’t working in their ideal job because they have other priorities (school, family, bills, etc.), but if you can start off identifying what excites you early in your career then you can be on the path to career bliss. Discovery is only part of the equation though, you then have to take action and make it happen. You should begin by doing what you enjoy in your current job more or finding a new one altogether. A great resource in this area is Marcus Buckingham and his work on playing to your strengths.

What are you passionate about and how do you incorporate it into your job?

Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. -- Theodore Roosevelt
