>Following your passion leads to happiness. No, not when it leads you to start your own business, which then fails, leaving you penniless and living on the street. Following your passion may have a better chance of leading you to happiness than following something that you hate, but that's about it. It's not a guarantee of anything. If everyone followed their passion, then society would probably collapse due to massive unemployment and necessary jobs never getting done (like cleaning up trash). How many people really get up every day to go to work because they're passionate about their job? Not many.
