FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
The contributor Jonathan Mead says that if a person actually wants to make a difference to the world "the single most important thing you can do is consciously and deliberately choose to do work that you are passionate about."
Jonathan Mead emphasize how important it is to do what you're passionate that
"No other choice can have a greater impact on the planet, or your life."

Jonathan Mead adds to his idea that, not only do boring jobs places an insignifacnt impact in your life but you also "certainly won’t be inspiring others."
The Author suggests that "if you do work that excites you, keeps you up at night, and fulfills you… you’ll do more" therefore there is an incentive for all your sleepless nights but it was all worth it.
Jonathan Mead says that by doing what you love no matter how your day went "At the end of the day you’ll think: “My time was well spent today.” "
