Find it and you'll never work again

I was recently reminded of one of my favourite paragraphs that I've read. It's from the chapter 'The Right Job' from Winning, by Jack Welch.

'You endure the same gummy, time-consuming, up-and-down, iterative process that all working people go through. You take one job, discover what you like and don't like about it and what you're good and bad at, and then, in time, change jobs to get something else closer to the right fit. And you do that until one day you realize - hey, I'm finally in the right job. I like what I'm doing, and I'm making the trade-offs I'm willing to make.'

No brain surgery, just something we all know formally put down into words by a role model, and at least for me it suddenly became more real, credible, and encouraging.

So here's to all of us normal people, may our iterative process end soon!
