Passionate Every Day!

Paul Grzella is an editor with Gannett Newspapers. He is from exactly the same age group that I am and wrote a piece today about feeling as passionate about the newspaper industry today as he was 26 years ago when he began his career. Paul spoke about this to a local group of college students and realized that the key to success is loving what you do every day regardless of outside factors, changes, and influences. Being in the print media world must be extremely challenging today as so many folks grab their news online, via twitter, from their cell phones, etc. My fear is that lots of us work in fields that are going through unfathomable evolutions and that we all walk around expecting a pink slip at any moment. I am a firm believer in the school of thought that those who give 150% to something they love doing will be provided for somehow no matter what. So, what the heck? Give your best performance each and every day!
