Monday morning reflections

Caught my eye while reading Joseph Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness this am. The quote offered a powerful message often lost in many a corporate and transitional change leadership process on workforce motivation.

While some may debate the value of having a “passion” in a personal career path – I don’t believe the importance of self-gratification can ever be stressed enough. 

 “I don’t like work–no man does–but I like what is in the work–the chance to find yourself. Your own reality–for yourself not for others–what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means.” 

― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
