Unless you like your work you cannot succeed!

One particular day I was not in a mood to write. I had other worries and my mental agony made me lethargic to write. But I tried to write in spite of my lack of mood. I took a deep breath and started typing my article. Since I was bored I was unable to concentrate but I continued.

When I read what I had written I could see that the contents and the flow of my article were mediocre and completely ordinary. Why was my writing bad on that day? It was because I was not in a mood to write and my dislike reflected in the common place article I wrote.

When you dislike your work you are one among the crowd.

If you want to stand out as a unique person you must like your profession.
