"Do something you are passionate about, do something you love. If you are doing something you are passionate about, you are simply going to succeed, and a variety of different things will manifest which you don't need to worry about.
There are so many opportunities and choices that anyone can make about what they do. Do something you are enthusiastic about. Existence is simply too short."
Some people spend their entire lives thinking the way to achieve success in life, but never figure it out. If you want to be successful then get
inspired by these individuals as they share their own personal success paths.
Mary Barra, CEO General Motors
So
I love to run. I like to run long distances. And part of it for me is
sort of the joy of feeling the pain and the grit and knowing you have to
dig deep. And I think a lot of times making business decision is like
being a marathoner. In other words, you know what the finish line is
that you really want to get to but, along the way, it’s not always pure
joy. There are really hard moments. But if you keep your eye on the
prize, it’s part of what drives you to get there.”
Kevin Plank, founder and CEO of Under Armour
“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”
Darren Huston, CEO BlackPines Capital Partners
“There’s
an entrepreneur right now, scared to death, making excuses, saying,
‘It’s not the right time just yet.’ There’s no such thing as a good
time. I started an apparel manufacturing business in the tech-boom
years. I mean, come on. Get out of your garage and go take a chance and
start your business.” ~ Darren Huston
Indra Nooyi, chairman & CEO of PepsiCO
“I
always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how
you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can
do this,’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a
breakthrough.”
