Paul Graham on How to Do What You Love

July 19, 2021
Hi there!

“To do something well you have to like it.”, Paul Graham, famous co-founder of Y Combinator and eminent Silicon Valley essayist, posits in today’s nugget. “You have to like what you do enough that the concept of ‘spare time’ seems mistaken.”

Have you ever wondered if you are on the right path? If you have made the right career choice and are doing what you were meant to do?

If so, today’s nugget will provide food for thought. We hope it will steer you toward work that you love to a point where you’d rather stay on task than getting teleported, say, to a site-seeing trip in Rome — toward a vocation that, from your perspective, might as well be called a “vacation”.
