As a college student, I am in the constant struggle and stress of figuring out what I want to do with my life. What to actually do to reach my dream job or if I will have a career path in mind to commit to. So far I have discovered no passions, and have no set career in mind. I have always had the dream of becoming a doctor or surgeon; However, I do not exactly know, what kind of doctor (Chiropractor, physical therapist, or a physician) if that is what I want to perform for the rest of my life. I do have strong interests towards those careers, but I want to be something more. I believe it is important to pursue a career one is passionate about rather than working for a job just for the sake of money. Because no matter how much money you make, nothing will help you overcome the feeling of doing something you hate.
However, one in fact can make great amount of money while doing what they are passionate about, it is just a matter how hard you are willing to work to reach that job. According to Larry Smith, in order to achieve a “great career”, you must find your passion, and work your way towards that career. No matter how hard or how ridiculous you may look, one must “work really, really, really hard” and “not be afriad to pursue [their] passion.” In order to achieve greatness, one should not be afraid to try, nor be have the fear of looking ridiculous. Which is all true, the fundamentals stated by Mr. Smith are all valid points to take in consideration when pursuing the ultimate career job. In order for one to find their true passion and achieve that such a thing, one must consider failure along the way. Because without failure in life, one will not achieve success. I see myself following this philosophy of finding my true passion and working until my brain becomes inside-out to achieve my dream job. All in all, do what you love and love what you do.
