I don’t see the girl who said this or the friend of mine she was dating, very much anymore. However, I’ve always remembered this quote. She told it to me in high school when I was getting ready to go to college and unsure what I was going to do in life. I’m still very unsure where I’m going, but I remember this quote fondly and try to implement it in my life where I can. I think it’s a good checklist of essential qualities of any opportunity that faces you in life.
“When you’re trying to figure out what to do with your life, focus on three things: do something you’re good at, do something you like, and do something that will make a difference in the world.”
