About This Quote

The quote from Roger Babson that says, “Through doing what you wanted to do, you will become the master of the situation.” In the quote, Babson suggests that it’s not about learning all the right skills for a job that you don’t want. He also doesn’t suggest going out and learning how to do a job where you hate your boss and coworkers. Instead, Babson is suggesting that if you want to learn a skill, learn it. If you want to learn a new job, learn it. As Babson says, “do what you want to do.”
