“If you don’t know what you want to do, that’s fine. But you at least should try “something” and figure out if this is something you definitely don’t want to do…The dirty secret is that the majority of the people out there don’t have an extreme passion for what they are doing or extremely hate what they are doing…So you might as well pick the highest paying career/job/business you can obtain that is “tolerable” until you find what you really want to do or until you need to make changes to accommodate your lifestyle… if you ever are lucky enough to figure what your real passion is during your lifetime… All this emphasis of “follow your passion” frankly is bullshit. most people don’t have that extreme passion in anything, and if that is what you are counting on to motivate to do anything, there’s a high probability you won’t do anything for a long time…I mean, it’s not like you came running to us and said mom and dad I got to learn how to play the violin or I will die!!!! It was probably more like, ok I’ll do it because you forced me to at gunpoint the first year despite my kicking and screaming, and after about 2-3 years fortunately you didn’t think it was that bad and wanted to continue with it, unlike your ice skating lessons I wasted my money on which in the end you decided you didn’t want to be the next Michele Kwan…wish you told me before all those years of private lessons, lol ”
I hate how my kid says how much she dislikes something even before trying…we never did that…we didn’t have a choice when we were their age.
