The Only Way to Do Great Work Is to Love What You Do

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle."

— Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple Inc.


Why This Quote Resonates Today

Steve Jobs spoke these words during his famous 2005 Stanford commencement address, but they're perhaps more relevant now than ever. In an era where we spend the majority of our waking hours at work, the pursuit of meaningful, fulfilling work isn't just idealistic — it's essential for our wellbeing and success.

What This Means for You

Passion Fuels Excellence
When you're genuinely interested in your work, it stops feeling like work. You're more creative, more resilient when facing challenges, and more likely to go the extra mile that separates good from exceptional.

It's Never Too Late
Jobs' advice to "keep looking" is crucial. Whether you're early in your career or considering a change later in life, investing in your professional development and exploring new skills can open doors you didn't know existed.

Continuous Learning Is Key
Finding work you love often means developing new skills and capabilities. That's where CPD certified professional development becomes invaluable — it's your pathway to discovering and excelling in work that truly fulfils you.
