“Stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion”
— Tony Hsieh
Simplified Meaning:
When you focus only on making money, you might end up doing work that doesn't make you happy. It's like choosing a job just because it pays well, but you feel bored and stressed all the time. Instead, if you follow what you truly love doing, you'll feel more satisfied and excited every day. Take, for example, someone who loves cooking. If they spent their life working a high-paying office job they hate, they might feel miserable even if they have a lot of money. But if they open a small restaurant or become a chef, even if they earn less, they'll feel joyful because they are doing what they love. Chasing your passion means choosing work that makes you happy. Over time, this happiness can often lead to success and even money, but most importantly, you'll be living a life that feels meaningful to you.
