to infinitive
Hi, I'm wondering if to infinitive sounds better than a Gerund (or both equally ok) in the following sentence;
One trick to becoming hard working is 'to find / finding' a job that you can enjoy.
When either to-infinitive or gerund is needed in the subject of a sentence, can you tell me which suits more?
eg) Believing / To believe in yourself is important for your happiness.

One trick to becoming hard working is 'to find / finding' a job that you can enjoy. I find both equally good. You do have other present participles, so stylistically, having another one flows a little better.
