Stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion. - Tony Hsieh
Inspirational quote of the day by Tony Hsieh.
Imagine waking up in the morning and looking forward to starting your work. Imagine being surrounded by colleagues who share your passion and inspire you to grow. Imagine the satisfaction and fulfilment you experience when you contribute meaningfully to society.
The only way to achieve this is to pursue what you are truly passionate about.
Being passionate about your work will provide the fuel to persist and overcome the difficult obstacles you encounter. It will give you an edge over your competitors, who are only doing it because they have to. Monetary success will follow, but it is the result or byproduct of your valuable contribution.
Working on what you love and getting paid for it is a wonderful way to live.
