Find what you love, because greatness is based on great gifts. If you love something, you can count on the fact that you are genetically gifted at it.
BARBARA SHER -
Every single one of us can do things that no one else can do can love things that no one else can love. We are like violins. We can be used for doorstops, or we can make music.
