I am about to graduate from college and there are so many people applying to jobs that society thinks are "cool". The great majority of these people aren't doing it because they are passionate about their job, but they are doing it for the money. The author writes "Find that pursuit that will energise you, consume you, become an obsession. Each day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don’t, you are working." I am all for this statement however the big question is, how do you find that obsession? I really have no idea. Some people say its what you do when you procrastinate, others say that it comes with time and creating experience "working" many different jobs. I think the biggest sign that you are doing something you love is when you can do it for free but then again, I have to make money to live.

I recently watched the documentary "Jiro dreams of Sushi". Jiro is 85 years old and still works at his restaurant in Tokyo making sushi. He has won three michelin stars and could retire any day but he keeps coming back to his restaurant. Jiro says "you have to fall in love with your work". This is a statement that one constantly hears and it is so often ignored however I really think its true. I look at Jiro and hope that I also never retire because I am doing what I love.

Completely agree. There is a step by step process that must occur.

Even the title of this article doesn't make a large amount of sense. Of course the Germans want to take part in "fixing" the Euro crisis. But this is the problem with people in the finance world today. All they want is a "quick" fix. "Patch" the hole and the boat will stop leaking. I completely agree, something must be done to avert a double dip however a "quick fix" will not get us there. Most importantly, people need to increase their savings, lower spending.

Pretty cool idea however I wonder when limiting the radius to who receives your vibes how do you calculate the range to display your vibes. Also, if you are protesting an area, and send a vibe, how do you prevent your vibe from being reached by the authorities in the vicinity? Its a pretty cool idea to have them self destruct after a couple of minutes though.

Firstly, what kind of name is this. Kindle Fire? please. Also no integrated email? I agree, it could possibly be added to the amazon "ecosystem", i mean it is only $300, but still no email? Email messaging is too important today.

Suits shouldn't be allowed to this type of meetup. I definitely saw at least 5 people in suits. so lame.

No Steve Jobs :(
