Bear Grylls Quote

This is why it’s important that you find the rewards you seek from the work itself. I would be climbing mountains and throwing myself off cliffs even if I wasn’t being paid to do it - because I can bet you that Mozart would have made music even if no one had listened. (In fact, he did, and for a large part of his life no one cared.) So often it takes actors or climbers or musicians decades to find ‘success’, but they eventually triumph because they are working within their passion.Do this for long enough and with enough enthusiasm, and ‘success’ will come. Even if it is not in the form you might first imagine.A love of what you do is one of the highest forms of success you can ever have. If you do what you love, then you’ll never have to do a day’s work for the rest of your life.
