You Will Fail to Have a Great Career

Larry Smith makes a comedic stab at the excuses that we have in today’s world for not pursing our passions, and therefore failing to have a great career.

I was with him for most of it except for the one towards the end. It’s not fair to say that having a family, raising a family, can’t be a dream and passion in itself. I think it’s perfectly fine to say to your child, “Go ahead, and pursue your passion. Just like I did, raising you to be the person that you are today.”

Of course one can purse a passion and be a great parent. But it’s not fair to assume that one who says they would rather focus on their family than their career to be called afraid of pursing their passion.

What do you think?
