1、why you will fail fel to have a great career k?r?(r) i want to discuss with you this morning why youre going to fail to have a great career. (laughter) i know some of you have already decided you want a good career. youre going to fail(laughter). those trying to have good careers are going to fail,
2、because, really, good jobs are now disappearing. there are great jobs and great careers, and then there are the high-workload, high-stress, bloodsuckingbl?ds?k?, soul-destroying d?str? kinds of jobs, and almost nothing in between.- - so the people looking for good jobs are going to fail. im going to
3、 talk about those looking for great jobs, great careers, and why youre going to, why youre going to fail. first reason is that no matter how many times people tell you, if you want a great career, you have to pursue p?sju: your passion ?p?n, you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue, the gr
4、eatest fascination ?f?s?ne?n in your life, you hear it again and again and then you decide not to do it. - im not quite sure why you decide not to do it. youre too lazy to do it. its too hard. youre afraid if you look for your passion and dont find it, youll feel like youre an idiot ?di?t, so then y
5、ou make excuses ?k?skjuz about why youre not going to look for your passion. and they are excuses, boys and girls. were going to go through a whole long list, your creativity, and thinking of excuses not to do what you really need to do if you want to have a great career. so, for example, one of you
6、r great excuses is, well, great careers are really and truly, for most people, just a matter of luck, so im going to stand around, im going to try to be lucky, and if im lucky, ill have a great career. if not, ill have a good career. but a goodcareer is an impossibility, so thats not going to work.
7、then, your other excuse is, yes, there are special people who pursue their passions, but they are talent. im not a talent. when i was five, i thought i was a talent, but my 1950 2013i have an interest! i have an interest! you tell me. i say, thats wonderful! and what, what are you trying to tell me?
8、 it is not passion. passion is your greatest love. passion is the thing that will help you create the highest expression of your talent. passion, interest - its not the same thing. are you really going to go to your partner and say, marry me! youre interesting. and if that, you will die alone. (laug
9、hter) - what you want is passion. it is beyond interest. you need 20 interests, and then one of them, one of them might be passion. 20 but then, there are some of you, in spite of all these excuses, you will find, you will find your passion, and youll still fail. - and what do you say? umm . thats r
10、isky, kid. might fail. cant make a lot of money at that. you know , you should think about that again , why not . -and the kid interrupts you, and says, but it is my dream. it is my dream to do this. and what are you going to say? like this look kid. i had a dream once, too, but - but. so how are yo
11、u going to finish the sentence with your but? . but i was afraid to pursue it. or, are you going to tell him this? i had a dream once, kid. but then you were born. (laughter) - . do you, do you really want to use your family, do you really ever want to look at your spouse and your kid and see your j
12、ailers ?d?e?l?(r)? there was something you couldhave said to your kid when he or she said, i have a dream. you could have said, looked the kid in the face, and said, go for it, kid, just like i did. but you wont be able to say that because you didnt. so you cant. (laughter) youre afraid to pursue yo
13、ur passion. youre afraid to look ridiculous r?d?kj?l?s. youre afraid to try. youre afraid you may fail. great friend, great spouse, great parent, great career. is that not a package? how can you be one without the other? but youre afraid. and thats why youre not going to have a great career, unless
14、- unless, that most evocative ?vk?t?v of all english words - unless. but the unless word is also attached?t?t?t to that other, most terrifying ter?fa? phrase fre?z, if only i had . if only i had . if you ever have that thought over and over again in your brain, it will hurt a lot. - - . . - so, thos
