APPLYING THE CONCEPT
Halalo’s friends come from very different
backgrounds: one from New York city, two
from St. Louis, one from a family farm in
southern Missouri and one from a small town
in eastern Oregon. Still, he can tell when
each of them is upset about something.
Mikel knows that Annette flunked the same
test on which Kerri scored a “95.” Instead of
telling Annette she should have spent more
time studying, he lets her vent her feelings
about the test and the class. Later, he asks
Annette if she would like to join his study
team.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your
life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is
to do what you believe is great work. And
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. As with all matters
of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
