'You've got to find what you love'

When you're doing what you love, you'll have fun and you'll succeed.

The first time I heard "You have to find your bliss," it sounded like new-age claptrap to me. It took time to sink in - the way I understand it now is that someone who is dedicated to an idea will put in his blood, sweat, and tears; and they'll probably have a great time to boot. That extra dedication will lead to success, not in a mystical laws-of-attraction way, but in a concrete, practice-makes perfect way.

This is no doubt one of the best speech i ever heard. It gives me a lot of new perspectives when i heard it for the first time back in 2006. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1R-jKKp3NA
