When Steve wrote about Erin's being all about compassion and thus needing a career that revolves around that part, I wonder if anyone asked themselves who they were deep inside themselves too and came up with something?

I did and the answer came up "Being Creative". I feel that I'm very creative, but not artistic at all (I don't care for the arts). By Being Creative, I mean being creative in finding new ways of doing things, or creating new ideas, new structures, new organizations, new items, or taking existing solutions and finding more elegant, faster, better, simpler way of accomplishing the same thing. That's what fires me up, and keeps me very engaged in my job when it happens. However, once I've figured a solution, and implement it, if I later have to solve a similar solution and implement a similar solution that takes time to implement (such as writing a computer program), it's boring to me. So for me to feel deeply fulfilled at my career, I'll have to be constantly creative, solving new interesting problems that I have never worked on before.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an inventor. I see now the connection between being an inventor and having an interest in creating new organizations.

I'm curious what other people's response was to that passage of the post?
