Do What You Love is Formula for Success
Learning the lessons of the financial crisis and growing from them is an important part of the philosophy that Alan Quasha takes to life and the way
he pursues business. As we begin to emerge from the recent global economic crisis, Alan Quasha believes people will take a new look at their lives, at the meaning of material success, and re-evaluate what is truly important in life.
Mr. Quasha has observed, several times, people discovering and doing what they love, even though it might not be the most financially rewarding thing that they could do. These people, who understood their own personalities, weaknesses, strengths and passions, were able to forge a new road, breaking new ground, in pursuit of their passion. Their lives, although they might not be fabulously wealthy, are nevertheless fantastic, and this is a very important lesson we can all take from the economic crisis. Alan Quasha puts it thus:
“I think young people should, first of all, do something they’re passionate about. If it happens to bring enormous wealth to them, great; if it doesn’t, that’s also great. At the end of the day, and particularly as you get older, time is an increasingly valuable commodity, and so doing something you really like to do is a great way to fill the time you have. I feel that we’re moving to a world where time is more relevant than money. People should probably spend more time thinking about how they want to spend their time, rather than how they might make the most amount of money. If they actually thought about that, it might change some of their decisions.”
