I just blogged about "Circle of Competence", which is a Warren Buffet expression for sticking to what you know. As I mention in the post, sticking to what you know isn't the same thing as "doing what you love" (I just read that section of TMF , so it was on my mind)

Anyway, I was going through one of my notebooks tonight and came across that "inside the circle / outside the circle" diagram and decided to blog it.
