It seems that every commencement address encourages the new grads to “pursue their passion”. Encouraging someone who may love music but is tone deaf to “follow their dream” may be well intentioned but is setting them up to fail. Check out Dr. Scott Galloway’s “The Two Most Important Keys to Succeed at Life and Work.” (4 min.)
If you like Dr. Galloway’s 4 min video, watch The Algebra of Happiness with your older (high and college kids). ( 80 minutes and it goes fast!. Warning, Galloway has no “filters” and can use some salty language at times…but well worth it for the wisdom ).
