In the book "My True Love Gave To Me: Twelve Holiday Stories" by Stephanie Perkins, a thought-provoking question is posed: would you prefer to excel at something you enjoy or be only average at something you truly love? This question encourages reflection on personal priorities, passions, and the value placed on skills versus passions in life.
The quote prompts readers to consider what brings them more fulfillment—achieving mastery in a hobby or activity they like, or simply engaging in what they love without necessarily excelling at it. It highlights the importance of passion and personal happiness in choosing how to spend one's time and efforts.
