When you don’t know what you want to do, follow what you can’t stop asking questions about.

Curiosity is a better compass than passion because it turns up on ordinary days and does not have to be summoned. The subject you keep reading about when nothing is forcing you is already telling you something. It will not hand you a job title, but it points at the territory.

For two weeks, write down what you look up when you are bored. Not what you think ought to interest you, what actually does. Patterns appear quickly, and they are usually more specific than you would guess.
