About This Quote

If you are doing something that you know is important but you don’t really enjoy doing, your best bet is to find something that does excite you. If you are doing something that is absolutely uninteresting, then it doesn’t make any sense to work on it. It also doesn’t make any sense to stay with it for too long because eventually you will run out of inspiration. So, the best thing is to find a job where you can be enthusiastic and have fun with it.
