Success is loving what you do

This is an excerpt from Steven Jobs' commencement speech to Stanford in 2005. I believe success is loving what you do.

"I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle".

    Yes! Never settle. Life is seriously too short...do something you enjoy or are passionate about. Life is too short...make a difference in someone else's life. Life is too short...make your success happen! It's tough sometimes but you gotta keep reminding yourself what you are doing and why you are doing it! If you don't know what you should be doing...keep looking. It's true...you will find it if you keep looking. Love it...thanks for the reminder Pat!

    Without interest or love, you will never do one job very well. Where there is interest, you will find the work is easy and will try to increase your performance without feel any loss or disappointment.

    PASSION fuels SUCCESS. You have to be very passionate and love what you do to get the best out of it. That's one of the main rules in online marketing. Business is like marriage. If you don't have love for your partner, the relationship won't work out.

    Doing something you love will always keep you happy. The hardest thing to do is to find what makes you happy. Many times we try to do something that others want us to do or our brain is telling us we need to do. Eventually, we attempt to do a few, they fail and then realize that we should always follow our heart.

    If you are passionate about what you do, it does not seem like work. It is sometimes difficult to find your passion but when you do you will be on cloud nine.
    RIP Steve Jobs - he knew what he wanted and he went out and got it.
