Advice from Red Bull
My good friend Victor, over at Red Bull, dropped this into my inbox last week. We were engaged in a fantastic discussion on the “secret of life.” Here’s his:
LOVE WHAT YOU DO, OR DO SOMETHING ELSE.
—
You’ll never achieve real success unless you like what you’re doing.
No one has ever succeeded in a line of endeavor which they did not like.
Your chances of success are directly proportional
to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.
If you’re in a job you hate,
face the fact squarely and get out.
It’s better to be a failure in something you love,
than attempting to be a success in something you don’t.
Don’t set compensation as a goal.
Find the work you love, and the compensation will follow.
The more you love what you are doing,
the more successful it will be for you.
