20. “You've got to find what you love. And that is as true
for your work…..
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,
and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do
what you believe is great work.
And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.
If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.
Don't settle.
As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
And, like any great relationship,
it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
So keep looking until you find it.
Don't settle.”
