The eight traits successful people have in common.

When I asked Russell Crowe what led to his Academy Award for Best Actor,

he said, "The bottom line is I love the actual job of acting.

Successful people in all fields love what they do,

whether it's astrophysicist Jaymie Matthews, author J.K. Rowling

And not just big names -- Margaret MacMillan, a history professor,

says, "I spent my life doing what I loved."

Carlos, a bus driver I sit with at Starbucks,

says, "I love what I do. I've only missed three days in four years."

And believe it or not, even successful dentists love what they do.

and we tend to think that business is more about cold numbers than hot passion,

so what surprised me was how often successful business people

actually use the words "passion" or "love" when they talk about their work.

When Jack Welch was CEO of General Electric,

He said, "No, I don't like this job. I love this job."

Kathleen Lane, chief strategist at WorkCar,

She also says, "Stress isn't working 15 hours at a job you like,

stress is working 15 minutes at a job you dislike."

says, "I used to be in sales. Now I'm a CEO.

James Dyson, the vacuum cleaner guy, says,

"I love vacuum cleaners, and I will love them until the day I die."

Yup, when he dies, they're just going to cremate him and suck up those ashes

with a Dyson vacuum, and place it on the shelf.

We can have passion for a particular field.

Anita Roddick, the great founder of The Body Shop,

I love buying and selling and making connections."

She also said, "I don't like systems, financial sheets or plans."

Yes, no matter how much we love what we do,

there's always going to be stuff we don't love.

The trick is to make sure the stuff you don't love only takes up 20 percent of your time,

If it's the other way around, we're in the wrong job.

Passion is sometimes mistaken for ambition.

but he says, "I'm not ambitious. I just love what I do.

And if you love what you do, you do a lot of stuff.

And then people say, 'Oh, you're ambitious.'"

The cool thing about passion is it turns underachievers into superachievers.

I have a long list of famous underachievers --

like Albert Einstein -- who people said would go nowhere when they were young.

"I was sitting in my room being a depressed guy,

trying to figure out what I was doing with my life."

his parents actually sent him to counseling.

Yeah, I can just hear the neighbors back then saying,

He's never going to go anywhere." And he didn't,

until he discovered his passion for software.

Sure, there's the kid that knows they want to be an accountant or an architect

or an astronaut from the time they're 10,

but I found a much bigger group of successful people who,

when they were young, and even when they were older,

didn't have a clue what their passion was,

Dawn Lepore, Chief Information Officer at Charles Schwab,

and I didn't know I loved it until I fell into it."

Well they just get out there and try a lot of stuff

I tried working on a farm. They didn't like me.

I tried a lot of things that didn't work,

but I kept trying and then I tried something that did work."

And I'd say it worked; as a children's author, he's sold over 40 million books.

Yes, finding a job we love is like finding a person we love.

Sometimes we've just got to go on a lot of really bad dates

Now, I read a survey of 18- to 25-year-olds,

and 81 percent said their first or second life goal

And I thought, boy, they've got it all wrong.
