10 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
How do you think we should ask the question about what our purpose is and finding our purpose?
I always like Joseph Campbell's Follow Your Bliss,
like this idea that you should follow the things that make you intrinsically happy.
And I also do this with my students at ASU.
My first way of mentoring them is to try to find out what their core passion questions are.
And then how do we find problems
to work on that are aligned with who you are intrinsically and what you 're interested in?
Because I think if you want to unlock human potential, you have to have people working on things they love.
Before you try to think about a career or anything else you want to do in your life,
you have to think about how it makes you feel moving in a direction you feel like you want to be moving.
People think science is this technical thing that you're just doing calculations or something.
But the way that we do science in the space I work in, generating new explanations and new ideas is much more creative.
It 's pretty emotional because you 're basically trying to find out how reality works and think about it and interrogate it
and parse it down to some concepts that you can talk to other people about.
Bat those ideas around and try to build a theory and an experiment to test it.
It's a really hard thing to do.
And so I find with students, if they don't really care about the problem, it's too hard to do that kind of work.
It's too hard.
You might be able to talk about it for a little bit, but you're not going to be able to deal with the years of research.
