Proverbs 4:23

© Hans Finzel 2015 3

“Above all else, guard your heart,

For everything

you do flows from it.”

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do the work 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.” - Steve Jobs (Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs, Simon and Schuster, 2011)

Your career is what you're paid to do; your calling is what you're made to do.

My fear is not that you will fail, but that you will succeed in doing the wrong thing.
