Guy Kawasaki said we should do what we love. What we have a passion for. Money is not what is it all cracked up to be. He gave the example of when he was in college and a guy came driving by in an expensive sports car while he was shooting hoops. He said to himself one day I will own one of those cars and when I do I am going to drive by this campus in it. He said he bought one of those sports cars like he had been dreaming of and did that exact thing drove by his college campus, when he drove by the basketball hoops he saw some boys shooting and said wishing to himself, man I wish I was them shooting those hoops. His talk was Passion vs Money.
