Jack Welch Quotes

I never knew anybody who was unhappy with their job and was happy with their life. It's your sense of purpose. Now, some people can find it elsewhere. Some people can work a job and find it some place else.

Passion should meet your professional life, and I'm a living, breathing testament to that.

To make a living is no longer enough. Work also has to make a life.

We have to work for a living, but it is your life, so make sure you find something that you enjoy doing and people that you enjoy doing it with. Then, hopefully, you'll have a happy life.

Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. Making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. Living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. A job title doesn't even come close to answering the question. "What do you do?".

The majority of people consider their work a means to an end. People who work for money only come to the end faster than people who are involved in their life’s purpose every day.

If you can find a way to make a living doing something you enjoy, or a range of things that you enjoy, then it can scarcely be called work.

Over 90% of people go home at the end of the day feeling unfulfilled by their work, and I won't stop working until that statistic is reversed - until over 90% of people go home and can honestly say, 'I love what I do.'

Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

When you're working and making money, that's all good, but there has to be something that provides a substance, I think.

I feel like, in general in my work life, my main goal has been to just be in a situation where I'm not bored with my job. That's been the entire principle. Got my wish.

I enjoy what I do.

If you're not enjoying your work, what's the point?

I'm happy when I'm working.

We spend most of our lives working. So why do so few people have a good time doing it?

To have meaningful work is a tremendous happiness.

It's not how much money we make that ultimately makes us happy between nine and five. It's whether or not our work fulfills us. Being a teacher is meaningful.

I want to be in love with what I do at all times, and I want to stay in love.

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.

I don't want to spend my life doing jobs that I don't care about.

Make sure you love what you do or it will eat you alive.

The most important lesson I've learned is how rich and rewarding life is when one can engage in meaningful work, whether on the job or outside of work.

How many people are not as good as they could be at their job because they don't love it? They're not passionate about it. If you don't like something, why are you doing it?

I have the distinct pleasure of doing exactly what I want to do and get paid for it. It's a joy.
