When you’re growing up you imagine you’re going to be a farmer, an astronaut, a doctor, or maybe a lawyer. Some kids dream of being teachers, engineers, or maybe even President of the United States. Isn’t it funny how life turns out. You can learn you’re fulfilled in doing something like driving a truck, painting houses, or landscaping. We find our career match by doing what we love.

You can probably easily think of several people who love what they do. Some famous people, like Bill Gates, must love what they do a lot because they are so successful at it. But being successful doesn’t mean you have to become known to the whole world. The lady down the street who works for the post office all her adult life is successful. The local hardware store owner is successful. They do what they love, they love what they do.

Some people, like Brad Pitt, are very good actors. Most of us would be terrible actors. And most of us would be terrible lawyers, terrible real estate agents, terrible auto mechanics. It takes a special person, like a Dennis Tamburo, to be a successful mortgage broker.

Dennis Tamburo is a good example of someone who is successful in both personal and professional endeavors. You can be sure that Dennis Tamburo will have something to talk about at his next class reunion.

Danny Kaye, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all racked up successes in their lives. Bill and Barack are still with us and may accomplish many more things in their careers. The bottom line here is when you’re ready to choose a career, it may just choose you because you’ll find yourself so thoroughly enjoying what you’re doing you won’t realize you have chosen to do it all your working life.
