    I dont agree with the notion that work has to be your passion. Sometimes work is just work. You can have your passions separately and still enjoy your life. I think this is an important message for many young kids, who start work then quit because the “passion isn’t there“. I also think sometimes it can take time to become passionate about something. Like when you start a job and you’re not very good, it’s not as fun, but when you have done it for so long and you’re THE expert that itself can be fulfilling and give you “passion”.

    • @dolph3578
      @dolph3578 Рік тому +6

      I think its more industry dependent. Because broadly speaking I agree with you. But if you are specifically in a career like acting where its so competitive and the rejection is so brutal I do probably think if you don’t have passion its the wrong industry. Its much easier to “be” a engineer or a teacher or a IT person than an entertainer making a living in Hollywood.

      I love when bitter small-minded people pick apart every single statement a person makes so they can feel as superior to them as possible. Must be great to bitch about actors and act like it's not a real job while completely ignoring actual malicious forces in the world like corporations and political money. You're typing on a phone, wearing clothes, and eating food made with child and/or slave labor. Obviously it's hard to get by in the world without those things but when you start acting like you're better than "big bad Hollywood actors" while still utilizing those things you have zero credibility.

      By your logic a wealthy parent should send their kid to the poorest school.
      If he benfited as a actor from being Tom Hanks, who cares.
      He didn't use it for negative things like drug addiction, crime etc.
      Most likely he will allow his kids to benefit from what he gained.
