Understanding Calling and Probation

A 'calling' is identified as a strong urge or conviction towards a particular career or way of life, often viewed as a deep personal mission. The speaker shares their own passion for teaching as an example of a calling, illustrating how this sense of purpose drives individuals toward fulfilling roles. Additionally, the concept of 'probation' is introduced, describing a trial period at work to assess suitability for a position. During this period, employees must demonstrate their capabilities to secure a permanent role, as highlighted by the example of a candidate striving to prove themselves during a probationary phase.
