One rule of thumb that has often let me down is the idea that “you should always follow your passion.” While pursuing your passions can lead to fulfillment, it doesn’t always translate into sustainable career success or financial stability. Sometimes, it’s important to consider practicalities and market demands, and to be open to opportunities that may not align perfectly with your interests but could lead to fulfilling outcomes. Balancing passion with practicality can create a more realistic path to success.
