Preview: Becoming a Professional Human Being by Jim Bagnola

I haven't finish the book yet, so below is just a glimpse of it :)

What Is a Professional Human Being?

• Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. - Albert Einstein
• A Professional Human Being is a positive role model I would like to emulate.

Perform Your Magic

• If you love the work you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
• The magic trinity:
• Skills: What are you good at?
• Likes: What do you like to do?
• Needs: What does society need?

Magic Formula from Jim

1. Find your magic (Skills + Likes + Needs)
2. Serve the needs of others
3. Make a difference
4. Allow us to gain financial freedom (it's not our top focus, but it's the side effect)
