Finding Work You Love

I’ve just been reading an inspirational essay by Paul Graham … How to do what you love. There’s so many quotable lines in this it’s hard to single any out, but here’s one of my favorites:

It’s hard to find work you love; it must be, if so few do. So don’t underestimate this task. And don’t feel bad if you haven’t succeeded yet. In fact, if you admit to yourself that you’re discontented, you’re a step ahead of most people, who are still in denial. If you’re surrounded by colleagues who claim to enjoy work that you find contemptible, odds are they’re lying to themselves. Not necessarily, but probably.

Keep searchin, keep on searchin, this search goes on, this search goes on!
