(MBASkills.IN) Why You Will Fail to Have a Great Career?

•Download as PPTX, PDF•
•

This document discusses the choice between having a good career versus a great career. It argues that good jobs are disappearing, leaving only great jobs or stressful, soul-sucking jobs. However, many people fail to have a great career because they do not follow their passions and dreams due to making excuses or believing success is due to luck rather than passion. The document claims that truly successful people are passionate, even if that drives them to seem strange or crazy, and encourages the reader to choose to follow their passion in order to have a great career rather than just working hard for a good career.

(MBASkills.IN) Why You Will Fail to Have a Great Career?

2

Either ways you are going to FAIL! You want a GOOD career. Or You want a GREAT career

3

Why will people looking for GOOD careers fail? Because GOOD jobs are disappearing Because you will either have GREAT jobs. GREAT careers. OR “High workload. High stress. Blood sucking. Soul destroying jobs.” Larry Smithh

4

But what about GREAT careers! Why wouldn’t you make it to a successful GREAT job? Because no matter how many times you listen to Steve Jobs Stanford commencement address, you still decide not to follow your PASSION. Your DREAMS Big Question is WHY!? You will always have excuses to not do what you truly love and believe in!

5

AND WHAT EXCUSES COULD YOU HAVE FOR NOT FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION!? Too Lazy? Too Hard? You think you are an Idiot? And Confused. Or you are just AFRAID to look for your passion. Your failure to identify it then becomes an excuse.

6

But the BIGGEST of all excuses is: “That great careers are truly and really for most people a matter of LUCK!” Larry Smith BUT THE TRUTH IS

7

Or you end up believing that only the GENIUSES. Only the WEIRD ones can become Steve Jobs. And I only thought I was a GENIUS when I was five! When I wanted to DO STUFF!

8

Or maybe you are just scared of being STRANGE and WEIRD. You think you know the fine line between MADENSSand GENIUS. But successful people are PASSIONATE. And passions can drive you CRAZY. REBELLIOUS. And keep you OBSESSED. But NO! You want to be NORMAL and yet have a GREATcareer. I AM LIKE THE NORMAL!

9

So I adopt the universal strategy: WORK HARD WORK REALLY HARD WORK REALLY REALLY HARD!! Work Hard= GOOD Career Work REALLY+REALLY+REALLY Hard= GREAT Career Seems to make absolute MATHEMATICAL sense!!! Yet you FAIL. You might succeed to get a good career but what about a GREAT one. That NO!

10

So you choose. What you want. Work HARD. And a GOODcareer. To live your PASSION. LOVE your work. And have a GREAT career. The choice is absolutely yours! LINK TO TedTalk
