Transcript:
I believe there is only one way we can succeed for our life. If we do what we love over the longterm, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do the tasks that are sometimes annoying and that you are only doing the fun stuff. I think over a period, let's say a week, you should be focusing on the things you love, because if you're doing the things you love, you will be more happy.
You have better relationships with your family, with your friends, with the people around you, and you will be a more happy person. If we take the opposite, if you are doing things you don't like, you will be grumpy, you don't like yourself, and it's kind of a downward spiral. Do the things you love, and you will change your life and people around you, and the world will be a better place if we would all do what we love, continuously.
