Description

Michael Warshaw "In an age when work is more personal than ever - when who you are is what you do - work is a deeper source of personal satisfaction than ever. And it's not JUST about discovering some inner truth. It's about solving a math problem. William B. Gartner, a professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, offers this simple calculation: Say (conservatively) that you work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 50 years. That's 100,000 working hours over the course of a career. Do any of us want to spend 100,000 hours on work that we don't find satisfying? 'You have one thing of value, and that's your time,' argues Gartner. 'This is one of the first challenges I pose to my students: 'You have 100,000 hours. What are you going to do with them?' That is the one real limitation that all people face. Not money - time. Too many people underestimate the opportunity cost of their time.'"
