A job pays you for the role rather than what you can do!

From a book which I recently finished reading:

"A job pays you for what the role/designation does rather than for what you can do, which is why the compensation it pays doesn't justify your capabilities. Owning a business sets you free to use the full potential of all your abilities and interests."

The most successful people operate at the intersection of three things - passion, skill set and opportunity

"If you are an entrepreneur now or are looking to be one, don't be too opportunistic but be a bit more strategic about it.
The most successful people operate at the intersection of three things - passion, skill set and opportunity."
