TIP #18: Like What You Do

Fast Company just came out with The 25 Top Jobs for 2005 . It's interesting to understand top jobs based on their index of "four categories: job growth, salary potential, education level, and room for innovation."

However, the biggest index, I believe, should be a personal one: find something you love to do. And if you do, you will do it well.

It's like Albert Schweitzer said, "Success is not the key to happiness. Hapiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing you will be successful."

You see, you can't be winning at working if you don't like what you're doing, where you're doing it, or who you're doing it for. If what you do feels like work the majority of the time, you might want to think about why, and what you can do to change it.
