    Passion is important but it is an emotional state. Don't FOLLOW your passion instead BE passionate about what you are doing.

      I found out that in order to be happy and enjoyable is to let it naturally came to you, if you're forcing yourself to be positive then it will ended up being a mess, at least from my experience.

      Funny thing: my passion was engineering. My good idea was selling my artwork and getting on stage. I’ve made way more money doing that then I have in my pursuit of engineering so far. It’s just been a much more rewarding job fiscally, however, I won’t stop my studies because I know one day that degree will take me somewhere.
      The general idea is stay motivated and just do your homework. That’s how you get wealthy.

      It's not original. Just reworded.
      I've been following his podcast for the last 3 years and he's a pseudo intellectual. He's only educated. His intuition is horrible and it wouldn't be if he was actually smart. He was in the right place at the right time for Dilbert. His books are just reworded self-help books and basic philosophy.

Hypocrites. Fascists. Which they don't even know the real definition of they just watch CNN spew propaganda. Fentanyl is killing more people than covid did but yet they won't do anything about it.

    Many artists and writers are passionate about what they do and die poor. You have to be passionate about something that pays the bills. I know my passions never paid very much and few people could understand Applied Phonology or Phonemic Transcription Analysis which I invented but no one is interested so it pays me $0. I can tell you it’s useful in some applications but as no one is interested in hearing about it or learning it then it will die with me and at 72 years old that’s not far off. That was my passion but it never paid a dime.

  • @tnerbtnerb5136

    There's a lott of truth to this, but frankly I've known a grand total of seven millionaires in my lifetime. Only ONE of them claimed to be "happy" about his life situation, and he's the one that went into the field he was passionate about to a fault (software design). The others are consumate professionals who just sort of shrug indifferently whenever I look them up and ask that question.
    Scott may have failed at 30 things he was passionate about, but the one thing he was wildly successful at he WAS also passionate about (just not moreso than the others). Passion, IMO, is a key component to success and hapiness, it's the fuel that runs the engine. But it IS just one component: you need MORE than passion. But you still need it.

    • @Berogra
      @Berogra 5 років тому +8

      "Rich people are unhappy" is just excuse mentality. Most people are unhappy. Having enough so you can do exciting things and not have to worry about bills or emergencies certainly brings you closer to happiness than being poor.

    • @1990cwa81625
      @1990cwa81625 5 років тому

      Are we talking about passion or happiness? I am pretty happy and successful but I cannot say anything I am passionate about until circumstances elicit the passion reaction. Work doesn't elicit passion. Fact. It does elicit a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction which translates to happiness.

      @1990cwa81625 5 років тому

      Brent,
      Or Tnerb, whichever you prefer, the point is that you need to find a system that works, or that maximizes the probability of success across multiple dimensions and multiple disciplines. Passion may be one component (and I stress ONE component), but there are certainly many others. Scott wrote about it in his book 'How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big; Kind of the Story of my Life.' In it he discusses having a systems approach to life.

      Yeah, people say, “Rich people are unhappy,” as an excuse to not take any action or discourage their loved ones. Most of these people only think about money in terms of buying material things. They never think of money to buy their TIME and money to be able to “take their time” going through life.
