If people are stuck in jobs or activities they are not happy with in their lives, it creates pressure and inevitable stress in their lives.

Therefore, discovering your true passion/dream job early in life is very important to leading a happier and healthier life by reducing stress.

What have you heard about passion? Allow time to interact with the students
If you are not sure what your passion is here are some questions to help you discover your passion:

1- If anyone asked you "What do you want to do when you grow up?" When you were a child, how did you answer?
2- If you had millions of dollars, i.e. if money was not an issue, what would you like to do in life?
3- What annoys you most in the world that you would like to go and change to make it a better place? For example, I know some people who are so angry with injustice and, as a result, became lawyers.
4- Where did you feel at home most in all the places you have been? This actually can help you to identify where you are supposed to be living too. It could be seasonal or for a period or for life.
5- Where did you feel that you belong there in places or situations you have been? For example,at an event at Stanford, I felt that I was recognized for my logical thinking in a class talking about philosophy and straw men, so I pursued psychology/philosophy more and have enjoyed it!
6- What would you like your obituary to say? What would you like your friends/relatives to say at your own funeral?

Give time for everyone to think and answer these questions on their own on a piece of paper, privately. Then if they are comfortable to discuss, ask them to get into groups of 2-3 and discuss these things among themselves. Allocate time for it.

If you are not sure of your passion yet, here are some recommended assignments for you to help you to discover your passion.
