Confucius is attributed with saying
“Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life”.
While I think the concept behind this sentence
is fantastic, I feel that there is a risk that it will be taken too broadly by
those entering the workforce. On hearing this quote and the many other
motivational statements that get thrown around like “follow your dreams” and
“find your passion” new employees may make the following mistakes:
Mistake Number 1: Unrealistically believing
that those who are passionate about their jobs love every aspect of them…all
the time.
