The words of wisdom:
Do What You Love
One of Mort Zuckerman’s professors in Harvard Business School told a story of how George Bernard Shaw decided to leave his clerical job in a dry-goods store in Dublin and head to London to write plays. Shaw gave himself three years and figured that if it didn’t work out he could always go back and be a clerk in a dry-goods store.
To Mort Zuckerman who would be practicing Law upon graduation, Law to him was the functional equivalent to working as a clerk in a dry-goods store. So he gave himself three years to try something that he was always interested in: Real Estate and Journalism. And he feels as if he has never worked a day in his life.
