The word is passion.
The example is on Sunday night are you dreading Monday or looking forward to Monday?
Today I read an excellent article in Bloomberg BusinessWeek by Ted Genoways. It is titled "Patrón Made Tequila Top-Shelf. Will Bacardi Dilute It?"
It is about Master distiller Francisco Alcaraz. This is a long article and the pics are great. I draw your attention to one paragraph in the article about Mr. Alcaraz:
"After two years, Núñez got him a job as production manager at El Viejito. Alcaraz set up a cot in the still room and slept there so he could learn the sounds of the copper pots and coils through every stage of distillation. "
Think about that for a moment. Do you know anyone who would do that? I know very few people who would.
But I do know people who work longer hours. More importantly these individuals undertake activities off hours that demonstrate I am in a profession as opposed to a job. For example, I read several business magazines each week. And I watch business shows. It is part of my study and continued education in my career. I am sure those of you who are in a profession (as opposed to a job) take similar actions. In other words, we are professionals rather than employees.
The article is a very good read. If you like Tequila, then it is a double winner.
