DONALD TRUMP'S ADVICE ON CHOOSING A CAREER
If I were
going to give career advice to somebody, it would be that you have to love it,
you have to really want it and you have to love what you're doing.
There are so many people that are forced
through family pressure or something into doing something that they don't
believe in it and they don't like. You've got to go after the kind
of job you like. You may love the airline business and the airline business is
a terrible business but you'll probably do better within the airline business
if you love it. Then you will in a better business, in the airline business. If
you don't so, you have to go into something that you like.
There are many stories of people that
became successful later in their life by doing other things and they got out of
something that they didn't like, and one of them, is a friend of mine.
He was a failure on
Wall Street. His family was very important in bigger Wall Street but he wasn't
cut out for ---- wasn't tough enough for it. He probably wasn't smart enough
for it and he was a failure on Wall Street and all of his life, he was just
born to be on Wall Street but it didn't work out that way, so he stayed and he
didn't do particularly well.
But he stayed and stayed and I used to tell him
just go out and do something else, but then, what happened, is at his golf
course they made him the head of the Greens committee, they were redoing all of
the fairways, all of the ----- and they
did it really because they felt sorry for him and nobody else wanted the job.
And he did a spectacular job. He was there at five o'clock in the morning with
the contractors. He worked really hard. He
wouldn't get home till eight thirty in the evening. He loved what he
was doing and I told him: ‘You were to
go out and build golf courses. This is
what you're good at’.
And he left him, he's ---------- I could never do that I
have to be on Wall Street I'm expected to be on
Wall Street, I have to be on Wall Street. I said yeah, but you're not
happy and you're not good at it. He said it doesn't matter I'm expected to be
there.
Well he went back he was miserable and ultimately about five years ago
he, he developed a golf course building business where he renovates and builts
golf courses.
He's doing expected. He's doing a spectacular job. It couldn't be
better, he couldn't be happier. So first time in his life he's doing well and
the first time in his life he's happy.
