Video - Do What You Love Tom Kelley, IDEO

You won't just be happier when you follow your passionate career path; you'll be better at it. IDEO's General Manager Tom Kelley quotes author Jim Collins who identifies a Venn diagram in every career path - the overlapping intersection of what you're good at, what you're born to do, what people will pay you to do, and finding a happy group of co-workers with whom to work. In the pursuit of self-discovery, Kelley suggests keeping a laboratory notebook tracking the happiest moments in life to discover our own true passions.

• Do what you love not because you just want to be self interested
• "Do it because you'll be better at it
• I love wine and so I have a winery and I think it's pretty good.

• Think about these three circles.
• The first circle is what are you good at?
• But watch out for this circle because in this circle lives the curse of competence.

• third one. He says, "Don't over emphasize this one but you got to think about it." Which is, "What will people pay you to do?" Because he said, "They say do what you love and the money will follow."

• Then there's this other thing called 'who'." He said which is who are you going to work with? Who's on the bus with you? Because you can show up for work everyday and you can do stuff you're good at, you can do stuff you're born to do. You can do stuff that people pay you to do, but if you're working with people that you hate or that hate you or they have no respect for you, still not going to be a happy camper. And so that's his kind of personal formula for this thing. So he stops speaking, as I will eventually here in a few minutes.
