What’s a widely given piece of advice that you believe is actually not helpful?
One common piece of advice that I think is often bad is “follow your passion.” While the idea behind it is well-intentioned, it can be misleading. Not everyone has a clear passion, and sometimes, passions change over time. For many, pursuing what they love can lead to unrealistic expectations, especially if it doesn’t translate into a viable career or if it becomes a source of stress. Instead, it might be more beneficial to focus on building skills, finding opportunities that align with your values, and pursuing what you’re good at, even if it doesn’t originally ignite a spark of passion. This way, people can create fulfilling and sustainable paths without the pressure of needing to “follow” a passion that may not exist or be practical.
