Dr. Angela Duckworth

But psychology is interesting to me.

So why not marry my purpose

to my interests.

When you have that marriage, that to me creates passion.

And so I hope people listening are able to say it's not too late.

Whenever you come to this realization, you can begin that very day to look for the intersection.

There is actually a science of calling.

So there are parables, but there's actually modern science.

And it's true.

Some people, they go to work and it's a job.

It pays the bills.

As soon as it's five o'clock, their brain shuts off from their work and they get to do what they really want to do.

Some people have a career, they see progression, right?

So this is better, right, by the way.

It's like, oh, I can see that I'm getting ahead.

There's some kind of fulfillment in that.

Mel, we talked about the gratification of getting better at something, and that's, you know, built into human DNA.

So that's a wonderful thing to have a career compared to a job.

But a calling, I think, is something that marries our intrinsic interests with our deepest personal values.

Right.
