I think this is a very powerful video, and while I think its a perfect message for high school and college students to hear NOW, I think it also delivers the message that its not necessarily too late for the rest of us non-young people! Just because your first, second, or even third job wasn't where you found your passion, doesn't mean there is a reason to give up and go for stability. And don't forget, passion doesnt have to mean your are insanely wealthy or win a Nobel prize from it. In fact,
the guy who invented velcro actually had a passion for hunting...
So it can be the baker that opens a corner store and gets up every day loving her job, it can be the rescue dog trainer, the social worker, the policeman. We all dream of being the next inventor, the next Dean, the next Larry Page, but truth is passion can come in many many different forms, and the happiest and most successful people are not always the richest. If you can find and follow your passion, a great career can come in many forms. But I 100% agree with what he is saying, DONT be afraid to follow your passion.
Now... how to find and focus passions... that can be an even harder question...
