A Critique of “Do What You Love? #@&** That!” In the essay “Do What You Love? #@&** That!” Jeff Haden(2012) Expresses his opinion on passion and how it should affect your choice in starting a business. Haden states that “passion is not something you follow but passion is something that follows you.

I too have a deep passion for wildlife and wild places, though I practice entrepreneurship more so in my art, for which I am enthusiastic and determined. Like me, Muir had many passions and enjoyed creating new things; he carved clocks and other practical devices, all his own inventions (Sierra Club). Since I was younger, I enjoyed designing and fabricating prototypes of my original ideas and
He believes people should pursue a career they are Passionate about. Working a job, you hate for the rest of your natural life can be a detriment on the person and the employer.

By saying this he means don’t waste your potential by letting side issues get in the way. In the article Csikszentmihalyi mentions a study held in a factory where most welders hated their jobs and found no passion in it.
Currently, passion is one of basic factor for choosing the right jobs. If we don’t have passion for our career, we will waste our time, and destroy our future. According to “The Case for Working with Your Hands” by Matthew B. Crawford, he mentions, “Seeing a motorcycle about to leave my shop under its own power, several days after arriving in the back of a pickup truck, I don’t feel tired even though I have been standing on a concrete floor all day” (371). This essay discusses about the life of Crawford who had a Ph.D. in political philosophy, he worked at a think tank; nevertheless, he gave up this job to open a motorcycle repair shop.

Charles Baxter’s book “There’s Something I Want You to Do” is composed of ten chapter, each focussing on one of the seven deadly sins and their vices. The chapter that stood out the most to me (and what this essay will focus on) was the first chapter, titled Bravery.
