Advice of a Zookeeper

"Advice of a Zookeeper  

   What words of advice would you give a person entering your

field.

   When you find what it is that makes you dance you have

 to do it.  If it hurts all the better, because it means that

 it can grow you if you maintain your passion and commitment

 and go through it.  You really have to love what you're doing,

 why you're doing it, - if not all the time, eventually.

 What you do has to feed you,but you must feed it first.

 If you can find something to really give yourself to

 everything else will find its natural place in your life.

 Education, internship, mentor, whatever - all these will

 find you once you find what you're here for."               

    Found above in Jan 2001 while checking a website

 for backlinks, from job profiles.com the actual post

 is no longer on that website.

    I have found the advice quite useful over the years

Here is the quote on another blog
