Alan Weiss’s Monday Morning Memo® – 8/5/13
August 5, 2013—Issue #202
This week’s focus point: What’s the difference between play and work? I’m not talking about hours or location, but the act itself. Whenever I see a Broadway performance, I don’t think of the people on stage as working, though they are making money. They seem engaged in a transcendental experience. I remember returning home once, upset that I had to make time to “work” on one of my hobbies! I dropped that hobby for ten years after that, realizing what should be comforting and pleasurable had become onerous and invasive. I try to ensure that I engage in relaxing, fun, and stimulating endeavors. The more I can find of that in my career, the better. When you can’t you have to find it somewhere else. The ideal career, of course, is to find out what you’re passionate about, become excellent at it, and create your business around it.
Monday Morning Perspective: I am always at a loss to know how much to believe of my own stories. — Washington irving
