That’s a great mantra, it’s so true. When advising my 3rd year doctoral student who are approaching the decisions to be made about their dissertations –I tell them to select a topic and study that is personally important to them, that they really care about. If they go for what they think might be convenient, or more distant, I let them know that reading the academic literature, the “journals” –no matter what the topic– is deadly, and if they aren’t engaged in a topic about which they feel passionate, it will be absolutely intolerable.

Happy holiday to you and to all of the wonderful people at GTD/Davidco.
