Do what you like or like what you do?

To me thats the hardest part about life, is liking what you do, if you can figure that out, you will do great.

The grammar is pretty poor in that sentence. Maybe we are over analyzing what a hillbilly wrote.

Not at all. Certainly for a person who’s mother tongue isn’t English, like me, it certainly is a tongue twister.

“it’s no use doing what do you like, you got to have to like what you do”.

Say it super fast 10 times, and than you’ll read: It’s no use doing what you do you do like to do doing, you got to have to like to have what you do like a doo doo?

A few days ago, when i was reading a book and came across a sentence that impressed me a lot. The sentence goes: “it’s no use doing what do you like, you got to have to like what you do”. This sentence sort of solved my confusion about the work i do and what attitude i should hold for it. Does this sentence make sense to you ?　Any inspiration ？

I also reading a very popular sentence few days ago.It’s The most amazing things in life tend to happen right at the moment you’re about to give up hope.<snip/>

I am agree with some of our members. May be not everybody get chance to work what he likes to do, in that case its better to like what you do. its help to change our mind set and create positive thinking.

I’d say that in a perfect world “you do what you like”, but for many the world ain’t perfect, so in that case you’d better “like what you do”.
If you don’t like what you do, and you have the possibility to change, then go for it.

Yes, i would agree with you, it’s important that you like what you are doing because it affects your performance. For example, you have a job, if you don’t like it then there’s a possibility that you take absences and won’t perform well which could lead to your termination.
