"Pursue your passion / follow your dream"
may be the worst advice
given to our generation.
Following your dream may leave you with no options
because you can find 'non-dream like aspects' in every kind of work,
because passion is not the same as disciplined improvement,
because what we want to do is not always what society wants.
But if you pursue mastery
at something that you can be great at,
something you can see the greater value to;
you may hang around long enough, to see
your work appreciated and respected and
the positive impact of your personal contribution.
So you may just find yourself pursuing your passion
after all.
