If only..... (Great career TED speech)

How to get a great career?
A passionate speech by Larry Smith on TED flows down this line of logic in the TED speech:


  1. Good job is the one that pays, requires huge workload, and person doesn't really like it.
  2. A Great job is the one a person is passionate about.
  3. What is passionate?
    • "Will you marry me? I am interested in you" ..... guess the response
    • This is the response that shows the difference between "I am interested in something" vs "I am passionate about something"
  4. Once you find your passion, you may stop and not follow of it for different reasons. One of the main reasons - kids.
  5. Once you have kids, and your kid says that he/she wants to be a performer, you will say that it's too risky, doesn't bring money, etc, etc, etc.
  6. "Daddy/Mom, why didn't you get a great career?" "Because you were born."...... Is that the answer you will give your child to explain why you didn't get a great career?..
