Either ways you are going to FAIL!

You want a GOOD career.Or

You want a GREAT career

Why will people looking for GOOD careers fail?

Because GOOD jobs

are disappeari

ngBecause you will either haveGREAT jobs. GREAT careers.

OR“High workload. High stress. Blood sucking. Soul destroying jobs.”

Larry Smithh

But what about GREAT careers! Why wouldn’t you make it to a successful GREAT job?

Because no matter how many times you listen to Steve Jobs

Stanford commencement address, you still decide not to

follow your PASSION. Your DREAMS

Big Question is WHY!?

You will always have excuses to not do what you truly love and believe in!

AND WHAT EXCUSES COULD YOU HAVE FOR NOT FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION!?

Too Lazy?

Too Hard?

You think you are an Idiot? And Confused.

Or you are just AFRAID to look for your passion. Your failure to identify it then becomes an excuse.

But the BIGGEST

of all excuses

is:“That great careers are truly and really for most people a matter of

LUCK!”Larry Smith

BUT THE TRUTH IS

Or you end up believing that only the GENIUSES. Only the WEIRD ones can become Steve Jobs.I aint STEVE JOBS!

And I only thought I was a GENIUS when I

was five! When I wanted to DO STUFF!

Or maybe you are just scared of being STRANGE and WEIRD. You think you know the fine line between

MADENSS and GENIUS.

But successful people are PASSIONATE. And passions can drive you CRAZY. REBELLIOUS. And

keep you OBSESSED.

But NO! You want to be NORMAL and yet have a GREAT career. I AM LIKE THE NORMAL!

So I adopt the universal strategy: WORK HARD

WORK REALLY HARDWORK REALLY REALLY HARD!!

Work Hard= GOOD Career

Work REALLY+REALLY+REALLY

Hard= GREAT Career

Seems to make absolute MATHEMATICAL sense!!!Yet you FAIL. You might succeed to get a good career but what about a GREAT

one. That NO!

So you choose. What you want.

Work HARD. And a GOOD career.

To live your PASSION. LOVE your work. And have a GREAT career.

The choice is absolutely yours!
