The biggest misconception about work is the belief that you have to find what you're passionate about. However, having a dream job doesn't guarantee total satisfaction; there will always be aspects that suck. The key is to focus on what you're working on and why. Rather than searching for your passion, the solution lies in becoming good at something and then developing a passion for it. This shift in mindset is supported by psychological research, which suggests that as you become competent and valuable in a certain area, you naturally develop passion for it. Therefore, the emphasis should be on identifying one's talents and strengths, and invest time in developing those, as this will lead to work satisfaction and a meaningful career.
