    Never make your “passion” your career/job. I did and regret it. I used to love computers till I worked in IT now I hate them and the attached users.

    All the things that you love is you. We must be happy and make the world a better place!

    I’m so sorry if I have mistakes in the text. I from Russia. I love psychology and try to learn English.

    If I had all the money and time for me…..I would read books.

    But then what would be my career?
    Please answer.

    Just another life story… Well I didn’t expect magical answers or even questions but still the ratio of upvotes and downvotes is pretty good for a basically useless ted talk.

    All hobbies are hobbies without turn to business
    All hobbies are passion if they can turn to business.

    I watch just a single TED talk daily and it is really helping me. I now know about many things which were not teach in school and by our parents. It really expands our knowledge, our perception and way of thinking and analysing things. Thank you TED.✌
