You gotta love what you do...
I remember telling someone a long time ago that I 'jumped out of bed every morning to get to work'. It was in the late Eighties, I was in my mid-twenties and working in a large advertising agency in Wellington. (Those were the days!)
It was the look that he gave me that I have never forgotten. Was it envy? Or disbelief?
Whatever it was, it hammered the point home to me - you gotta love what you do. To really want to be good at something, to want to keep learning and growing as a person and a professional, it really really helps if you love your work. Don't you think?
What is the point of going to work 5 days a week and doing something you hate? It must be soul destroying.
My advertising days are long behind me now - but I had a huge amount of fun, saw a lot of the world and got up to all kinds of mischief. I managed to make a few good ads along the way as well. But I loved every minute of it - and that was key.
I guess I am lucky to be able to say I love my second career too.
