Do you LOVE your job?
The point to categorizing our activities is to understand why we do what we do and how to best choose between which activities we should stick to and what priorities they should hold in our lives. When looking for a career, it would be great if you can find a job that we are good at, energizes us and we have plenty of experience in. I find that most of us end up in the lower right category when it comes to our jobs – we are good at it, but we don’t really enjoy doing it.

Since 1992, I’ve been a junkie. That was the year I purchased my first at-home computer. It was considered top of the line with a HUGE 40 megabyte hard-drive (yes, I said 40 MB) and a whopping 2 MB of RAM. It had a 286 processor and came with DOS-Shell and a maybe one or two games (the kind with no graphics). Back then, there was no ‘plug and play’ feature, and I remember sitting up night after night getting the system set up. I learned DOS – well, the basics, just enough to get by (dir, ckdsk, fdks, time). Before long, I was up and running – except there was nothing really to run – but the potential was awesome!
