Use this formula for a good career decision. Most people aren't using their talents. They got into a line of work because they had to get a job, or somebody told them they'd be good at a job. They were young, they started down a certain path, and they never stopped to ask what their calling might be-not just their job, but their real calling. P stands for passion, or for purpose .
Talents develop best in the context of interest.
V stands for vision-how you see the rest of your life . Talent, purpose, and environment are all about work style and work choice. Vision describes how work fits into the rest of your life. Most people who feel a tension between what they say they want to do and what they find themselves doing simply haven't done their homework. They're waiting for someone else to make the choice for them-or for the world to present them with a corner office, a lot of money, and a life of travel.
