The Key to Success

Many receive this advice when entering the job market: “Follow your passion.” If you have yet to see Scott Galloway share his thoughts on this advice, you should spend the three minutes to do so. I’m insanely passionate about soccer but not great at it. Also, three knee surgeries put that idea to bed. And guess what? I’m not a soccer player.

Following your passion is limiting and too narrow for most. Instead, if you want good advice, follow the work that you are good at and feel good at. As a result, you’ll spend more time doing it, and who knows? You might then find that you are passionate about it.
