Time is Time

During his talk tonight, Professor Schwarz brought up many helpful tips on finding and building success. Much of his focus revolved around involvement: leadership in clubs, working in a lab, and playing a sport, among others. He also stressed building relationships with professors and learning interview and other skills needed in the professional world. Oftentimes during the hour, however, I wondered how exactly Professor Schwarz defines success. While the following of all of these steps will make a great resume, they by no means can guarantee happiness or fulfillment. I feel that it is best not to pursue success, but rather let it come around naturally, through the following of a passion. If time is really time, why do we not focus on that at which we love and excel?
