  • You can’t compel passion

    Wed 7th

    You can’t compel passion, but you can fake it. You can simulate passion. You can pretend to care, to be happy, to be enthusiastic. When you’re sitting across from a prospective employer, you can feign belief in the company, in its goals, its missions, its products. You can dupe a client into thinking that you’re a specialist, an expert, an irrepressible guru. You can pretend to be interested in that long, rambling, incoherent story your date is telling you.
