"Do what you find fun" is bad advice for beginners: the beginning is NOT fun!
from Core Philosophies and Rants (Louis Rossmann) · host Louis Rossmann
This video discusses the distinction between fun, passion, and motivation, particularly in the context of pursuing a career or mastering a skill. Louis challenges the common advice that one must find their work fun and be passionate about it to succeed. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of internal motivation and drive, and argues that merely seeking high salaries or stable jobs without a genuine internal drive to solve problems and learn will not lead to success, especially in demanding fields like tech, engineering, or programming.(I am not affiliated with Louis Rossmann)Original Video: https://youtu.be/mnIXeIyacDU?feature=shared
