Should we follow our passions or practicality when looking toward the future?
It's an interesting debate. Listen to the following podcast/commercials and do your own research to get a good, general background. Then decide on your claim and be prepared to discuss these topics in our class Socratic Seminar.
"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
