Meh, this talk is just a bit lacking. Firstly, he talked about people with personalities that fit a salesman or w/e then went on to claim it doesn't work for them because their interests might change and they should do what matches their skills? Also tbh I was waiting on the statistics or his reason for why people who are set on a path burn out quickly, I had a couple ideas of my own but he only lightly touched on it. Then he's talking about doing what's valuable, but everything and every job is valuable in some way, I think he was aiming at figuring out what we find personally valuable, which in a way is to do with passion too. He had the main point I suppose but it wasn't a well thought out presentation, though he was clearer nearer to the end. At the end of the day imo it's about figuring out what motivates you to work hard at something and using that to work out how you can combine it with your skills and interests to look at a career option, then like he said you might develop or realise you have a passion for whatever the outcome is. It was a good starting point for career advice though!
Well the main thing I got out of it was: You most likely don't have the same passions you had 10 years ago. 10 Years from now you most likely won't have them either. Passion is built from success, not the other way around. People are better off gauging what to do based on the labor market and catering those skills to the ones in demand. Passion will be built from this success.
maybe people just keep pushing passion around and don't know entirely what it means idk
Yup essentially it's a easy answer with no meaning.
Or people need to try and understand it's meaning before throwing it around unnecessarily
okay im out, i finally have something i'm meant to be doing today and shall not stay enslaved to this damn shady lying ass forum!!
"When a successful person is interviewed, and you say, 'What was the secret to your success?' what they can't say, because society won't let them, is: 'I was smarter, I worked harder, I had better connections, and I got really lucky,'" Adams tells Business Insider. "Instead, they go with a democratic trait: passion."
Lol, I will never be successful if connections are involved omg. But again he was motivated by something to work hard and smart, maybe people just keep pushing passion around and don't know entirely what it means idk

If you make friends with some quality people, then they start introducing you to other cool people...it's more about the quality of the connection than the quantity."When a successful person is interviewed, and you say, 'What was the secret to your success?' what they can't say, because society won't let them, is: 'I was smarter, I worked harder, I had better connections, and I got really lucky,'" Adams tells Business Insider.

I don't understand why you can't follow your passion with knowing that simply following it is not enough.I mean unless your passion is killing people, then please don't follow that passion.
bRITISH HUMAN YAS!!!!
also i can actually watch this since verrrry relevant atm.
i think someone posted a venn diagram a while ago related to what career to pursue with what you're good at, what you want to do and what pays well.
Have a passion, make it a hobby, not a career. Way to many passions are killed in the business by stupid political shit.
