"I'd become convinced that passion was a critical factor in professional success. People who love their work bring an intensity and enthusiasm that's impossible to match through sheer diligence. ...they read [professional] journals for fun, they talked about cases during their lunch hours, they felt energized by their efforts.
Enthusiasm is more important to mastery than innate ability, it turns out, because the single most important element in developing an expertise is your willingness to practice. Therefore, career experts argue, you're better off pursuing a profession that comes easily and that you love, because that's where you'll be eager to practice and thereby earn a competitive advantage."

My new mantra. Do what I love. Love what I do. It's that easy.
