Bob Costas: Follow Your Passion

"I'm reluctant to offer advice concerning how others can be successful. Generally speaking, I would say... strive to make a career out of something you have a passion for and which rewards you in non-material as well as material ways. Then be willing to work hard at it and strive to improve, even after you achieve some measure of success." - Bob Costas

I recall an article saying that Costas used to watch games as a boy, turning off the sound on the T.V., and announce the entire thing. To become great you must invest great energy, which is fueled most efficiently by passion. That passion might be inborn, or birthed by a dramatic life event, but either way, it becomes what some might describe as their "purpose," others "calling"... the core of our lives.
