Enjoy what you are doing

I remember a good quote from Mr.Thomas E. Burton
" With ordinary talent and extraordinary perserverance, all things are attainable .

An excellent quote and just a a debrief on this

Sometimes you get into a mindset wondering what you are doing. Something which you do may not be to your liking. There are two options in your life
1) Do what you love doing
2) If you are not so lucky, love what you are doing!

If you do not love what you are doing, you will not fix your mind on it and this will reflect in quality of the work that you turn out.

Whenever you are doing an activity, it is not merely the content of the job which will produce the result. What is equally important is the emotinal value that you assign to the job. The more you are emotionally involved in doing the activity, the better will be the quality of the output and nearer the goal.

Especially when you have to do something which you are not happy to do, consider the various advantages that will be in front of you, once you complete the project. Visualise the future where you will be really, enjoying the benefit of what you are doing right now. As long as there is no other option but to do the job, do it with a smile or quit the situation and openly express.

Today list those things which do not like doing and start considering what aspect of it you like most. Do it first and you will like it . But also ensure that what you are doing is ethically right , fits into your values and beliefs and in case what you are doing comes out in newspaper tomorrow , what will be your feeling !
