“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” ― Howard Thurman
A few years ago I developed an assignment called "Calling and Careers" that was intended to help students start to find their "calling." That assignment is posted here, although the formatting is a bit off. I'd be curious to learn of any other assignments like this that anyone else has incorporated into their courses.
Elites embrace the “do what you love” mantra. But it devalues work and hurts workers.
