The Trump Card - Playing to Win in Work and Life →
Aside from being beautiful, Ivanka Trump has established herself now as quite the inspirational writer in her book The Trump Card which I just devoured and I could not move on to a new read without sharing this excerpt that stood out for me -
Naturally, I recognize that we can’t always be great at everything we do - if we could, we’d all be leaders and visionaries - but we can all be great at something. If you’re merely surviving at work instead of thriving, perhaps it means you’re not in the right field.
Or maybe you don’t have enough passion for what you’re doing to succeed at the highest level. I’ve worked with people who are much more knowledgable than I am, who are way more intelligent that I am, with far more experience, but I can usually get the better of them on a deal because of my dogged determination.
It’s just not possible to have that kind of focus if you’re not passionate about what you do. Greatness will forever be just out of reach. If you don’t absolutely, thoroughly, completely love, love, love what you do, you’ll never have what it takes to make it to the top. Pg. 91
