Career Capital Theory-
Research shows that the traits that lead people to love their work are general, and can be found in many different career paths. They include things like autonomy, a sense of impact and mastery, creativity, and respect and recognition for your abilities. Once you recognize that these traits have little to do with following a pre-existing passion, and can be cultivated in many different fields, you can safely abandon the myth that there's a single right job waiting out there for you.

- JSeymourATL 10y ago> how do you become good? It helps to have Models. Who are the benchmark leaders in your field? How did they get there? What exactly made-up their mythical 10,000 hours of practice? Hold yourself up to the standard. Emulate the formula, add your own ingredients. You'll know it's working if you feel stretched professionally.
