affinitysmiths at work

I was talking with friends at the weekend about inspiration versus perspiration and how it takes a combination of both to become really great at something.  

I'd like to add an other element to this equation.  Affinity (of course).  This clip sums it up for me: talent + effort + affinity = something special.  Alan Alda describes the development of his very successful working relationship with Wayne Rodgers.  They are known to many as Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John MacIntyre from classic series M*A*S*H which lasted a decade for a reason. Click here for clip.

P.S. if you are not yet a fan of M*A*S*H and or Alan Alda I hope you become one.

How do you get more from your work and enrich your life?

I declare I am a big Fan of Nick Williams.  He is the founder of a business called 'Inspired Entrepreneur'.  Having for many years written, spoken and taught on the subject of 'finding work you love' he has now taken this to a new level by helping people successfully set up and run 'The Business You Were Born to Create' (his latest book title).  His manifesto for Inspired Entrepreneurs sums up beliefs I hold dearly and think are relevant to anyone who wants to get more from their work - regardless of what format that takes for you.  

I hope this read inspires you.  http://www.inspired-entrepreneur.com/manifesto.aspx 

P.S. Let me know and help me expand my own thinking - does it work for you?  What would you add?
