PURSUE YOUR PASSION
“Please never, ever work for money.  Don’t just get a job… a job is something you do for money.  A career is something you do because you must do it, and you’d do it even if you were paid nothing beyond food and the basics. You’d do it because it’s your life.”

DON’T CHASE MONEY
… If you chase money, it may catch you—and if it catches you, you’ll forever be its slave.  By letting money pursue you but never catch you, you’ll always be its master.

DO WHAT YOU LOVE
By always doing what you love, loving what you do, delivering more than you promise, you’ll always be underpaid—which is how it always should be…

BE UNDERPAID
People who are underpaid for the level and quality of the service they provide are always in demand and always ahead of the money in their knowledge and contribution. So money and opportunity are always chasing them…

CHASE YOUR PASSION, NOT YOUR PENSION!

… learn as much as you can, know as much as you can, gain skills as much as you can… find a cause that benefits humankind — and you’ll be sought after for your quality of service and dedication to excellence. This passion will make you oblivious to quitting time and to the length ofyour workday… You’ll awake every morning with the passion of pursuit, but not the pursuit of money.
