Increasingly it seems to me there are really only three essential questions that drive a successful, fulfilling career:
- What do I really want to be great at?
- How can I be great at it?
- What am I willing to sacrifice?
So much of lifelong learning involves figuring out the first question.
Then figuring out how to do it.
Then learning – usually along the way – the price you have to pay to get there.
Of course, all of that flows from asking – and honestly answering – the questions in the first place.
