简单的摘录部分：

 

Are you as happy on Monday morning as you are on Friday morning? Do you make the money you need? Do you admire your boss and the company’s philosophy? Do you like your colleagues? When your day is over do you look forward to another day of challenge and excitement? Would you buy the product or service that you, your company, or your firm sells? If you are an artist, or you have your own business or private practice, do you enjoy working for your clients or customers? Do you have security, recognition, and advancement potential? Are you the same person at work that you are in your private life?

If you answered no to any of the above questions, then I will tell you what I tell my clients when they begin the process of finding their passion: you can love your work and make the money you need. You can have a life full of adventure and satisfaction. You have many choices and opportunities. You literally do not have enough time in this life to do all the exciting things that you could do. But first, you must know yourself.

Well, that’s easy, you say, I know myself — let’s move on to finding the work I like, writing a dynamite résumé, and meeting the right people. Surprisingly, few people, even highly paid professionals, know themselves. Most people I meet are so overextended they don’t know what they feel, much less what they want to accomplish with their lives.
