365QOD-Day551

"Doing something you are good at puts the odds of success in your favor.  It is almost impossible to achieve something that is worthwhile without having enjoyed doing it.  Almost all of the most successful people today enjoy doing what they do.  The ones that don't are wasting a lot of their life" Achieve More With Pareto's Law

A while back I wrote a post about an African runner who is the only person to have run 2 miles in sub 8 minutes.  The original story made it sound like as if he simply did it for the money and to provide for his family.  So it is possible to achieve something worthwhile without enjoying it.

I do believe that enjoying it would make it more likely for one to be successful at it BUT it is not sufficient or necessary. 

Today's question is:
"Do you believe that you must enjoy an activity to be successful at it?"
