Jonathan Barnbook once said that “it is far more important to do the work that you are excited by, not work that you feel you should do”. I agree with this quote as creating work you are interested in drives you forward to keep creating better work. When you are excited by the work, you don’t think of the work just as a job or university work, but as fun. The quality and quantity is much larger because you are enjoying the work. This is a good point to keep in mind when choosing projects for yourself to do. I also think challenging work comes hand in hand with exciting work. If we only did work that we knew we could already do, then we are not learning anything new. The work will then get a little tedious.
So i agree that we all need to make our work exciting for ourselves personally, however when doing university projects there is always something we don’t like doing. I personally don’t enjoy writing essays. But if i only did the work i enjoyed and never attempted written work like essays my whole body of work would be affected. So when looking at the quote with this point of view, i find that all work is important and should be completed.
