    Is it a secret to success? Absolutely not. The claim is that it’s a common factor amongst successful people. That’s logical. If you want to “Succeed” at something you either love it, or you find a way to invest hours of time and tons of effort into something you don’t like… which eventually you will despise with all your heart.

  7. robotpanda77 says:

    I still don’t think it really qualifies as a “secret to success” though do you? I mean telling someone to do what they like is kind of “duh” isn’t it? That would be like the waiter telling me to order what I like. It makes sense, but it doesn’t really advance my potential for success.

    @robotpanda77
    I’m not hearing the same advice that you are. You’re hearing “Love what you’re doing now” while I’m hearing “Do what you love.” You’re right in that the former is an over-used cliche, the weapon of an unimaginative manager, but it’s not what this guy is saying.

  9. deerfieldproductions says:

    @robotpanda77
    I think you misunderstood. And, believe me, I worked in an office were they spent thousands on “Fish Philosophy” have-fun-at-work bullshit just so they could use it as a club to further beat the employees (“See? It’s your fault you’re not having fun!”). You don’t have to love what you do, you’ve got to do what you love. Sometimes that means putting up with a shitty job to pay for the things you want to do.

  10. robotpanda77 says:

    If you really think you will ever succeed with the power of a useless cliche, then by all means waste your life. You don’t teach someone how to swim by telling them to love it or work at it, that advice forces them to learn everything on their own, and is thus, not true advice. I dsilike this type of thing for one simple reason, it provides false hope and guidance to those that need it most. Snake oil disguised as medicine.

  11. techboyandfriends says:

    @robotpanda77 Your post is dripping with cynicism. I would wager that with your attitude, you are not going to be one of those successful people. Richard has it exactly right. Success is not easy but it IS simple and those 8 words are indeed the keys to success.

    Perhaps you should consider what all these successful people are saying before you discount it as cliche.

  12. robotpanda77 says:

    So I have to work and enjoy it? Holy Sh*t this guy is a genius! lol give me a break. They have a board at my job where they do employee profiles and 99% of the time the advice is either passion or love what you do. In those exact same words. This is not advice, these are cliches. This would be like a furniture instruction manual just saying “Build it”.
