Cal Newport's clearly-written manifesto flies in the face of conventional wisdom by suggesting that it should be a person's talent & skill
- & not necessarily their passion
- that determines their career path Newport who graduated from Dartmouth College (Phi Beta Kappa) & earned a Ph D from MIT contends that trying to find what drives us instead of focusing on areas in which we naturally excel is ultimately harmful & frustrating to job seekers The title is a direct"e from comedian Steve Martin who when once asked why he was successful in his career immediately replied Be so good they can't ignore you & that's the main basis for Newport's book Skill & ability trump passion Inspired by former Apple CEO Steve Jobs' famous Stanford University commencement speech in which Jobs urges idealistic grads to chase their dreams Newport takes issue with that advice claiming that not only is thsi advice Pollyannish but that Jobs himself never followed his own advice From there Newport presents compelling scientific & contemporary case study evidence that the key to one's career success is to find out what you do well where you have built up your 'career capital' & then to put all of your efforts into that direction

There&s never a dull moment in this labyrinth as that damn dragon is back again!! It&s still too high level for me so I guess it&s time to escape while I can Why does it always seem like as soon as I get the hang of things either I get knocked into a new (MUCH HARDER!) area or some other Big Boss comes outta the shadows to make me fear for my life all over again? I just want to know what I&m doing for once ...

You wanna piece of me?!I thought I&d seen the last of those dang monkeys but now their evolved friends are here for payback!
