Especially "The moral of the story… Know where you’re going in life — you may already be there." It's also good to be commenting next to the author of this story. Thanks Mark and thanks for posting the story Chris. Siddesh I first read the story almost a decade back, it makes sense.

I wrote it for MBAs ( I was a Harvard professor and then co-founded Net Impact for service-minded MBAs). I just liked seeing it go around in different forms all these years, but am "coming out" now as it will be in my fall book, "More than Money." (and the MBA was originally from my school, Harvard Business School, though there have been many versions of the story this past decade) blessings, mark HI

How come people don't understand that if don't /love/ what you do, you're doing something wrong?
