[UpAndComing]

Took me a second to realize it was the Dirty Jobs guy

I saw this a while ago. Pretty interesting perspective. He is a lot smarter than most people realize too.

 

[Turbulent]

i agree.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Nah fukk that

 

[LoveDeluxe]

I tell people this all the time.

Pessimism

Nah fukk all that. "Id rather die enormous than live dormant" that bar by Jay-Z pretty much sums up my view on life. Id rarher die, crash and burn like Icarus than live within monotony.

Jay-Z's passion is drug dealing and basketball

But his aptitude is rapping and business. So he instead made these his life's work. And carried his passions with him. So what does he normally passionately rap about? Drugs and sports

Kareem Abdul Jabbar was noted in saying he didn't love basketball all that much

"never follow your passion, but always bring it with you"

Really ppl only recognize passion vs. paycheck.

Reality is there's an option in between that satisfies both.

IMO the advice may be to be honest with yourself about your skill and willingness to learn and train. And to be honest on whether ur passionate about the reward or benefit of being that or the actually day to day.

Bunch of dudes wanna be a rapper, a lot of em are trash, then theses those who aren't bad but aren't really going 200%, or they hate having to actually spend time writing songs/doing shows.

Yeah. To be honest, I think the slogan should be follow your aptitude, and bring your passion with you
