I enjoy teaching my student good English through some inspiring stuff (that's a good way to learn and teach English). The following is what I will be using in my upcoming class. I'm wondering if it's well written or grammatically correct...I understand it's not written by a native English speaker. Please help me out, and that'll be especially great if you could rewrite based on the following paragraph. Thanks a billion!

"I believe the greatest job is when you can�t tell the difference between work and recreation, and the best leaders are those who absolutely love what they�re doing. Why shouldn�t life be about doing what you love? If you don�t enjoy what you�re doing, how can you be really good at it?"
