Your attitude towards your career

The choice of a vocation is undoubtedly one of the most important things to consider. Few acts are filled with more unhappiness and regret than that of stumbling into an occupation instead of making a careful choice, based upon a thorough study of the aspirations and qualities within you and the opportunities all around you. The life work you choose will be your deepest source of happiness or of sorrow, it could be the source of you achievements of frustrations depending upon whether or not it fills a need you really feel, and, moreover, upon whether or not your natural aptitudes, as well as your training and economic situation, fit you to realize that need. Real success and happiness demand a perfect adjustment between the requirements of the occupation and the personal gifts of the worker.

The right choice of an occupation was never more important than it is today. This is the age of specialization, and the man who goes farthest along the road to success is the one who is trained to do some one thing well. But, more than that, in order to meet the humiliating competition that even the expert must encounter, the successful man must have all that enthusiasm and energy which he can get only working with passion.
