What drives you?

What drives you? What cathedral do you want to build? What would you like to see included in your eulogy? What is at the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, and what the world needs and what you can get paid for?

— from Legacy / The Logbook (Legacy/Epilogue) · Heart of Business by Hubert Joly and Caroline Lambert

In the book

What cathedral do you actually want to build? Work backward from the answer. A friend's wife, a photographer, used to ask people to choose five objects to represent their lives and arrange them to be photographed; the exercise forced them to decide what was central and what was merely incidental — and in the center of her own she placed a small sculpture of two golden seeds her children had given her, standing for her belief that there is in every one of us a seed of unrealized potential. — Legacy / The Logbook (Legacy/Epilogue)
