"Find what turns you on."�- Warren Buffett
Get your head out of the gutter. When Buffett spoke those words at�Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK-A ) (NYSE: BRK-B ) annual meeting, he was responding to a question about what advice he'd give to himself if he could go back 50 years and give himself some advice. And with that quip, Buffett was referring to finding something that "turns you on" to do for a living.�
Buffett's right-hand man Charlie Munger didn't disagree. He piled on: "You gotta work where you're turned on." Not that that comment did anything to squelch the innuendo.
It's hard to argue the importance of that if you're trying to live a satisfied life. But this isn't just solid life guidance, it's also a reminder of an critical aspect of Berkshire: Just how much Buffett and Munger love what they do. There's a reason that Fortune's Carol Loomis titled her most recent book about Buffett "Tap Dancing to Work."
