To know what u are passionate about itself is a privilege. How would you know what you may be passionate about if you never had the opportunity to try? This also boils down to how much exposure parents and schools are able to provide for children to enable them to find their passion. Looking at people around me, most of us do not really have anything we are passionate about, but we do know that we need to make a career to put food on the table
Well you should turn your passion into income. In fact use your passion to seek opportunities and ofc stability. Like graphic design for example you can go into UX design as UX is a more stable job and high income.
I remember a quote in Mary Poppins that says " In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and - SNAP - the job's a game!" However, later on in life, I found life to be the opposite, that even what seems to be a fun thing, be it a job or passion, there is always some boring element to it. I remember choosing my poly course as animation, thinking that since I love animation that I would find the course to be a breeze, only to discover some boring elements in that industry that didn't click well for me in the long run, and add on to the fact that I am actually not very talented in the skills required for that industry... In the end, I think it also boils down to whether the boring element is something you can live with, just like loving your life partner despite his or her flaws. So now, almost ten years later, I find myself able to do boring jobs (but still related to the media industry) to pay the bills, then use what I earn to fund side projects. I suppose I achieve that by approaching those boring pay-the-bills jobs with a different mindset than the passion projects. That's my two cents on this topic, hope it helps...
very well said! There's both good and bad sides in our jobs and learning to deal with the bad will help us cope much better overall. Great that you found ways to fund your side projects.
Love this ep! I feel that while it’s important to do what you love, it’s equally important to know whether you’re good at it or not. I believe when you’re good at something, you will naturally fall in love with it, and in turn, it will be something you’ll be passionate in - naturally.
Love this! So many people think passions are found, but if you identify as passionate about something, eventually as you work on it enough, you become that passionate person in what you do.
Point well-received. : Whether or not your passion is/is-not your career is less critical versus you developing your passions (so as to live a passionate life)
When I was younger I wanted to be a police and I sign on , but after getting married night shifts and a salary below 3500 is not enough unless you are a senior officer .
I really love this episode! I managed to make my contents into my secondary source of income in UA-cam because these are the things or activities that I love to do on a daily basis. The feeling is very rewarding when one is being compensated from doing what he or she is passionate of. Thank you for this episode team!
remind me of the scene in the indian movie 3 idiots when one of them want to pursue photography and said to their dad its ok to have a smaller house and ill be happy. wonder what happen to him now
A bit confused by the citation from "2020 HBS Study" (5:20), which appears to be a lit review referencing a 2017 paper from the Author Duff, and not original findings from HBS.....
got excited by the topic but don't really enjoy the concept. the arguments are quite mainstream and it feels like you're trying to make your school essay into a video format. tbh i found the argument part between 2 Nicoles quite annoying. Why didn't you interview The Wokeman Salary? Love them! Prefer the normal Can Ask Meh or at least an interview. Still love the team tho and hope the team reconsidered other approaches.

I have a passion for sleeping..... I don't think it will ever become a big c..... Sigh..... 😭
Mattress/pillow testing positions beckon to you
I saw a guy get paid over 10k for just sleeping. His name was Asian Andy. Maybe you can stream sleeping like he did.

Yea I just dropped out of university to go to art school. I'm privileged as hell 😅
In America - the number one reason someone quits is related to their relationship with their manager.

3:14 相打 to fight with each other
This episode's style and direction was a good attempt but it still feels a bit like a student project in film school haha
