those related to that person's
occupations.
A career is often composed of the jobs
held, titles earned and work
accomplished over a long period of time,
rather than just referring to one position.

and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what
you believe is great work.

keep looking. Don't settle.
As with all matters of the heart,
you'll know when you find it.”
- Steve Jobs
