FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):
|
Though going door to door selling vacuums seems to be sufficient to pay for college tuitions and herself, Marsha finds that the ''only catch was [her] heart wasn't in it''(Marsha Sinetar).
|
As Marsha realizes that a persons personality must match their work, she concludes that ''work needs to fit my personality just as shoes need to fit my feet''(Marsha Sinetar).
|
Being able to deduce that each job has its own benefits in its own way such as '' "It's only five minutes away" , or "It pays the bills", these advantages are often identified by people who have "uninteresting, tedious, or unrewarding work."(Marsha Sinetar).
|
Marsha claims that as humans, we are fairly capable of adapting to things we're normally not comfortable with, but "we are not born to struggle in life. we are meant to work in ways that suit us,"(Marsha Sinetar).
|
While studying about "successful" people, "it is abundantly clear that their achievements are directly related to the enjoyment they derive from their work"(Marsha Sinetar).

Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
Marsha Sinetar, the author of Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow: Discovering Your Right Livelihood, shares her life experiences as she struggles on earning a living and at the same time figuring out what the right is truly for her. As an upcoming student, Sinetar undergoes different kinds of 'work' in her life, but the one thing that always bothers her is the fact that her heart never feels in place. She finds it necessary, as if her dear life depends on it that she must match how she is and what suits her to her work, because anything else would simply prove no significance on who she is.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Editor: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the editor.
The Author is Marsha Sinetar, Ph.D., is an organizational psychologist, mediator, and educator who for the past several years has been increasingly immersed in the study of self-actualizing adults.
Attachment: Does the author or editor have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative?
Marsha simply wishes to inform society that even though chasing ones dream may be terrifying, but dream deferred is worst, and in the end the rewards are worth it.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
Traces of bias on the authors side is seen for her book becauses its based on personal experience. Although she may seem to favor one side, she is simply showing the facts of her life and the things she has observed around her.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author does cite references when she acknowledges the people who helped her or inspired her to write her book. This adds credibility due to the fact that people around her, or society can obviously relate to her topic.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project? I plan to use this source as a persuasion mechanism that doing what you're not comfortable with will never resemble who you truly are, and if one never shows who he or she is, then it would be the same as living a world of lies.
