I found out that in order to be happy and enjoyable is to let it naturally came to you, if you're forcing yourself to be positive then it will ended up being a mess, at least from my experience.
Funny thing: my passion was engineering. My good idea was selling my artwork and getting on stage. I’ve made way more money doing that then I have in my pursuit of engineering so far. It’s just been a much more rewarding job fiscally, however, I won’t stop my studies because I know one day that degree will take me somewhere. The general idea is stay motivated and just do your homework. That’s how you get wealthy.
It's not original. Just reworded. I've been following his podcast for the last 3 years and he's a pseudo intellectual. He's only educated. His intuition is horrible and it wouldn't be if he was actually smart. He was in the right place at the right time for Dilbert. His books are just reworded self-help books and basic philosophy.
@@henrys3629 And he tried to. He literally said on his podcast that this is what he needed to do because he was getting ready to retire anyway and he was going to try to get canceled. They took the bait. Haha. Because everybody knows how stupid cancel culture is right now and it's only on one side. I share some liberal views, but the left has gone completely crazy and nuts. Hypocrites. Fascists. Which they don't even know the real definition of they just watch CNN spew propaganda. Fentanyl is killing more people than covid did but yet they won't do anything about it. Even though it's coming through the border you know it's racism to try to stop illegals from entering.
A very insightful person, banned from speaking at all colleges for liking the President. When did intellectual debate turn into hive-minds and shunning?
"... energy ... and health ..." are the core and foundational to a great human experience for most people. Passion comes later. Starts with proper optimal human diet backed by science.
Many artists and writers are passionate about what they do and die poor. You have to be passionate about something that pays the bills. I know my passions never paid very much and few people could understand Applied Phonology or Phonemic Transcription Analysis which I invented but no one is interested so it pays me $0. I can tell you it’s useful in some applications but as no one is interested in hearing about it or learning it then it will die with me and at 72 years old that’s not far off. That was my passion but it never paid a dime.
Crassus.. The one that defeated Sparticus Made his wealth from public pay to use toilets... His Dad looked down on him for how he made his money... Until one day Crassus took in his hand a pile of gold coins from his stash.. Put them under his Dad's nose.. Saying... 'Do these coins smell any worse than yours?'...
I completely agree. I have a passion for gardening but I'm not going to quit my very well paying job as a RU-vid commentator / troll ( 😁 ) to go into gardening.
It’s giving what others want, the more people want it the move motivating it is to do more. Or plain natural talent and use it , then reinvest profits. Just my opinion
Passion is very important guys, he didn't mention that he started drawing at a very young age, all the other stuff he did was him veering off his passion thus why he quit and they all failed.
Why would successful people say, "Well, I'm smarter than poor people!." This is a hit or miss. I think they'll say it along the lines of, "Well, you follow what you're interested in, what you're good at, and what other people will pay you for." But, I don't know. Maybe he is right.
There's a lott of truth to this, but frankly I've known a grand total of seven millionaires in my lifetime. Only ONE of them claimed to be "happy" about his life situation, and he's the one that went into the field he was passionate about to a fault (software design). The others are consumate professionals who just sort of shrug indifferently whenever I look them up and ask that question. Scott may have failed at 30 things he was passionate about, but the one thing he was wildly successful at he WAS also passionate about (just not moreso than the others). Passion, IMO, is a key component to success and hapiness, it's the fuel that runs the engine. But it IS just one component: you need MORE than passion. But you still need it.
"Rich people are unhappy" is just excuse mentality. Most people are unhappy. Having enough so you can do exciting things and not have to worry about bills or emergencies certainly brings you closer to happiness than being poor.
Are we talking about passion or happiness? I am pretty happy and successful but I cannot say anything I am passionate about until circumstances elicit the passion reaction. Work doesn't elicit passion. Fact. It does elicit a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction which translates to happiness.
Brent, Or Tnerb, whichever you prefer, the point is that you need to find a system that works, or that maximizes the probability of success across multiple dimensions and multiple disciplines. Passion may be one component (and I stress ONE component), but there are certainly many others. Scott wrote about it in his book 'How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big; Kind of the Story of my Life.' In it he discusses having a systems approach to life.
Ben G Yeah, people say, “Rich people are unhappy,” as an excuse to not take any action or discourage their loved ones. Most of these people only think about money in terms of buying material things. They never think of money to buy their TIME and money to be able to “take their time” going through life.
This is a good message for those who do not have that one thing that drives them the most. It's not applicable on all though. This may sound extremely cliched but I used to think like this till I found that what can be considered as "my passion". I know multiple people in my life who have that exact same feel or something or the other.
@@basedbear1605 Too bad you don't have a passion, maybe you never will, in which case I feel for you. It's like how Harry told Lord Voldemort "you will never understand love, friendship" and Lord Voldermort was like WTF.
He took a calculated gamble, given what he knew then. I agree though that it was likely a terrible choice. Long-term health is way above getting tyrants' permission to go on vacation during a planned-emic.
Trying over and over and failing and so called "grinding" he speaks of the word is resilient and his passion is money, and you can be passionate about light fixtures to wipping the elderlies asses his mindset is twisted he lost his passion along the way to money hate all you want nobody likes truth staring you in the face. 1 Timothy 6:10
I think it did age well because it proves that he's a very intelligent man and what he said the other day is correct. Why don't you ask if 50% of black people saying "being white is not good" isn't racist?
I’m not going to take life advice from a guy who threatened to kill himself during a livestream. Sorry I just am not going to trust his opinions on human emotions.
