Top Comments : [TEDx Talks] To find work you love, don't follow your passion | Benjamin Todd | TEDxYouth@Tallinn

LM****:

Here's a little philosophy for you guys, if you live without having a goal then you're just living to prolong your death.

An**********:

I think if you're truly passionate about something then also you can help other people and add value to their life.

Ty**********:

It is definitely a combination of passion and value. You should pursue your passions, develop them into skills and then place yourself based on what society values and what your skills are. So you are, basically, still following your passion. The important caveat is that people are more fulfilled when the skills of their passion improve the lives of others. Value is a societal concept, so you won't produce value to everyone, but if you pick a large enough area of people who value a specific thing and provide that to them, you will be much more fulfilled in your endeavor.

KS****:

This is all based on one fundamentally flawed assumption which is that a career has to be something you do for the rest of your life. I have have had a number of shitty jobs, but also 3 of what you might call careers. I follow my interests and I make the most of them until I find something that interests me more and I pivot towards that. I'm now in my 30's and I've had a successful career in music, then professional theatre and now film and if I find something else that interests me I'll likely start over again. You can have a job that benefits you more than others and still contribute to a better world, your sense of humanity and charity doesn't end when you turn off the lights and go home. Trust me, don't live your life like you get to do it again. You do it once and then it's over, no replays, no second attempts. Make the most of it.

Em*********:

I’m glad to stop loving toxic jobs and move back to my passion work.

sa**:

What if his passion is to secretly waste everyones time by telling them to not follow their passions, while he's being hypocritical following his passion.

Za*************:

I knew someone who never truly followed their passions. Then they disappeared from the planet.

jo*****:

Before this video: I want to be a engineer
After this video: first thing I make is a hospital

Ho********:

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all the matters of the heart, you'll know it when you find it." - Steve Jobs (1955-2011).

Al********:

“I could not become anything; neither good nor
bad; neither a scoundrel nor an honest man; neither a hero nor an
insect. And now I am eking out my days in my corner, taunting myself
with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man
cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become
something.”
F. Dostoievski

Ta**********:

Still







IDK WHAT TO DO

Ci***:

From “follow your dream” to “do not follow your dream” is a Moment

Do***:

You don't have enough motivation without passion, you can't do something valuable, something really qaulitative without passion. Our brains don't work well with things that they don't like.

Ki**********:

Sorry, it was when I finally turned to my passion, music, is when I became myself and as the saying goes, the rewards came in many forms....most of all, I l realize how lucky and blessed my life has been.

fu**************:

The japanese had already figured this all out a while ago, it's called Ikigai

an****:

I think this speaker has a fundamental misunderstanding of the term passion. It really seems like he is speaking about interests.

An***:

A world without art would be worthless for so many people

Tu***********:

The best career advice: don't take yourself too seriously. You are just one more mortal in this world.

Da*******:

I think it’s all about finding a career you give value to the most. Because all careers are valuable, we just need people who are actually interested in that. That’s what makes a valuable career.

Te******:

My theory is: think about what you would do with your time if you didn't have to think about how to pay your bills. Then think about how to get the world to pay you enough money to cover your bills while doing that.
If you can't do that, your next best is to find something you don't mind doing for a living, that pays enough money that you don't have to put in a depressing number of hours getting your bills paid so you still have time to do what you want.

di*****:

Damn the comment section here is more motivational than the video

Ch********:

A 15 minute talk to tell you to help others to be happy. There, now I helped others by saving them 15 minutes

Dv********:

Let's not forget, that every time a successful person gives career advice, there is a selection bias in the background. Other people might tried the very same thing and failed, but we will never hear about them, because they are not successful.
Your personal experience is the most reliable source of information, don't follow any advice blindly. Try things, don't be afraid of failure, and see what works for you.

ma**********:

Saving this vid, so I can come back to this golden comment section - and hopefully one day share how follwing my passion worked out for me xD

Br********:

That was some seriously helpful wisdom brother. Thank you!

ar**:

Its funny when he says “back then” and he looks like he is ten years old. :)

St************:

I don't get why the majority of comments are negative. I get his "helping others" point. It might not be the only value in finding your job, but one important part of it.

Pi***************:

Once your passion becomes your job, it stops being so passionating over time.

Em********:

I think what he's trying to say is just don't blindly follow your "passion" or interests as a career. Rather you should incorporate your passion(s) into a career that doesn't only benefit you. I just started going to college for interior design and honestly am still not sure if this is really what i want to do. I care a lot about the environment and feel like a career involving that would possibly be better. With that in mind I could easily become an interior designer who uses only recycled and sustainable materials for my projects and could inspire others to do so as well. The question I'm left with is "is that doing enough for the environment to me?"

SA**:

I'm 28 years old, and a Graduate Aluminum. Yet, I recognize how VALUABLE this advice is.

I wish I had his mentality, a few years ago.

JG*******:

your passions don't change they just fade away because you are too busy working in a job that pays

St****:

I literally just quit a job I was very skilled at because I absolutely hated it. Though hearing what I've been told when I left, I would have probably made it to the top and have had "success". I was also helping people not get their money stolen on fake electronic scams, so you could say I was making a difference in people's lives.

I ran away from "success". Why? Because I was about to kill myself if I stayed there.

Honestly, I believe the best success you can have, is living a life you actually want to live. And there's just no objective way to calculate this

Ni*******:

Just watched a Ted talk about finding your passion and chasing that dream. Then this video was recommended and just the title alone had me laughing at the irony.

DM******:

I see a lot of people upset about this advice, but it worked for me.

My greatest passion/hobby is playing video games. I love playing them, but I know that I'm not good enough to be a professional E-Sports player. I'm sure I could be one day if I really dedicated myself to it, but I wasn't passionate about living with my parents after high school, so I looked for more reasonable prospects.

One day my brother mentioned joining the Army for 3 years to get a jump start. Make some money, pay for college, get out on our own. Sure why not? Fast forward 10 years later and I'm still in. Not only am I still in, I decided to become an officer. Never in my first 20 years of life could I have imagined myself being where I am today. An Army officer was never on my radar, but I found a lot of satisfaction in my work as I did it, so I kept going. I kept progressing, I kept getting better at my job. As opportunities presented themselves, I pursued them. I've learned that I don't regret not pursuing my greatest "passion", I regret when I let a real opportunity slip by that could've made my life better.

You can find passion and fulfillment in any career as long as you find value in it. Figure out how you make a contribution and as long as you do make that contribution, you can find satisfaction in it. I still play video games in my free time and enjoy them, but it doesn't need to be my career for me to be happy.

Pi****:

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - Howard Thurman
For some people, finding a career that has meaning and makes the world a better place is what makes them happy but for others, following their passion is the right move. There is no set in stone way to find the right career for you, it is not wrong to pursue money or practicality nor is it wrong to pursue your creative passion. You have to find your own path through life.

Bl**********:

Man, the world is full of people who follow their passion and have fulfilling lives, and also it's full of people that follow money and have fulfilling lives, and others that pursuit a meaning and have fulfilling lives.
The key is to find what is best for you out of those things and balance it with the others because that way you can find a way to make it fulfilling and give something back to society. If you can't balance these things of course you're going to fail, it is not as simple as saying "choose/don't choose what you're passionate about.

Lately I've been realising that almost anyone can apply for a TED talk and speak like if they had all the answers. So, it's on us, to figure out which TED talks are useful for us and which ones are not.
