TIB #4 / TIB #5: Passion Matters
Monday, September 11th, 2006Since I haven’t posted much in a while, I thought I would throw up a couple of TIBs. I do have way more to say than usual and I’ll get around to posting again after I’m settled in to my new home and into my new job. In the meantime…
TIB #4: Passion matters (way more than anything else)
I’m not sure what more to say about this one. Regardless of experience, passion is the most important asset that you can have as an individual. Take your pick on where you can apply this one, it’s universal. There have been times that I have not been passionate about what I was doing and even though I may have been experienced and well-seasoned in the area, I was not as effective as the people who were truly passionate about what we were doing.
TIB #5: If you’re not passionate about something, don’t do it.
See above. It doesn’t work out well for anyone. Life is too short to spend your time doing shit that you don’t believe in. If your employer has a different view, find a different employer.
