“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs

What work do you love to do? Do you feel like your work is valued by society?

 

“For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I’m not sure where I’m going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn’t do it.” – Frank Gehry

Did you ever start a project and not know how it was going to turn out? How did it turn out if it is completed? If it is not completed, can you see how it is going to turn out now?

 

“I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.” – Vincent Van Gogh

What work can you get lost in? Is this a good, bad or indifferent thing?

 

“The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.” – Vince Lombardi

In what ways do you find success and work related? Can you think of a time when they would not be related?
