The two keys to
CAREER SUCCESS
They are



1.                             2.
PURSUIT              OPPORTUNITY
PURSUIT


Malcolm Gladwell called pursuit the ‘10 000
hours to mastery’ rule in the book ‘Outliers’.

Dan Pink called it the ‘intrinsic motivator of
       mastery’ in the book ‘Drive’.

  Belle & Sebastian sing about one’s ‘life
                 pursuit’.
WHAT IS
                                               PURSUIT


Having a pursuit means chasing something forever.
Enjoying the thrill of the ride, rather than of arrival.
   Enduring the fact that there is no finish line.
WHEN IN
                                                 PURSUIT




    You don’t stop studying and learning after university.
And it is as much about learning from failure as from success.
OPPORTUNITY


                       It isn’t necessarily luck.
Rather an ability to see that an opportunity has been encountered.
 That it meshes with our pursuit, perhaps in an unexpected way.

                                	
  
OPPORTUNITY
                               It requires daring.
                     Trying it out. Taking advantage of it.
       Getting your hands dirty and sticking it out through the emotional
                                      times.
	
  
To be successful you must



Chase                   DARE to take
your life              opportunities
pursuit
These were some thoughts after reading the following
          AWESOME BOOKS
