    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.

    Hello! Thank you for this speech. I think a lot about that problem, and I think then you really right.

    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.

    Good luck!

    If I had all the money and time for me…..I would read books.
    Is there something wrong in that?
    But then what would be my career?
    Please answer.

    Yeah…it’s a nice pipe dream…

    And, for most people, that’s all it can ever be.

    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.

    Cualquira que sea tu pasión trata de no joder el medio ambiente (contaminación) y no te comas cualquier cosa que camine o viva en el agua (exótico afrodisíaco ) pinche culero

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

    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.✌

    A misfit college dropout with a ‘strange’ but unquenchable sense of passion? Seems like she’s talking about me too.
