Thanks Greg!

I’m not sure if we *have* to love what we do to be successful but it definitely helps. I think the odds of success are higher and of course, no matter how little your success, at least you’re enjoying the ride.

Aodan …. well done

Terrific post – I love the idea of enjoying that journey … that’s why we really have to love what we do?

Thanks Kieran, that Einstein quote is so true. I certainly empathise with it too. I often over-complicate talking about the work we’re doing.

If you’re hanging a picture of me, I’ll send on the best PR shots. (Avoid Facebook!)

Love the image. I have groaning shelves of books on self improvement, success, strategy )the original Porters no less and I think your image above tells the tail of all of these.

Write a list ‘ make sure it is short. Do it. The doing is what so many people are poor at. Fear is such an underlying factor in the human psyche these days and why the “Beat Procrastination ‘ Buy My Book¨” is alive and well.

I have a print out over my desk with a picture of Einstein and his saying “If You Can´t Explain it simply, you don´t understand it well enough”.

Must add a pic of you with above comments

Good post – more please

Thanks for sharing that John, you’re dead right about how easily we forget everything we accomplish. And sometimes, it *is* the little things that make a difference for us or others. Hope your boss agrees with your positive appraisal, btw!!
