One piece of well-meaning advice I received was to always follow my passion, no matter the cost. While it sounded inspiring at the time, it led me to make some impulsive decisions, like quitting my stable job without a solid plan and diving headfirst into a venture that wasn’t financially viable. I realized that while pursuing what I loved was important, balancing practicality and passion is crucial too. It taught me that passion can be a guiding force, but it also needs to be tempered with realistic goals and a strategic approach.
