Last night I saw a smooth jazz concert. The people on stage (Peter White, Steve Cole, Nick Colionne) really seemed to enjoy what they do. Actually that's an understatement. They absolutely appeared to love what they do. At the scheduled end of the concert, they performed an impromptu jam session where the two guitarists were just playing off of each other for about 1/2 hour to forty five minutes "tearing it up" really giving the people their money's worth.
It occurred to me that it is so important to like what you do. You may not love every minute or every task, but to find something that taps into one's true talent and "gifting" should be an ultimate goal. I wonder if we are learning that in these tumultuous times. More importantly, are we teaching this to our youth? The same youth who are disenchanted with the "9 to 5" workday and the obvious disappearance of the 20yr commitment and retirement at 65 (with the gold watch). Are we still learning?
