Very inspirational! I believed my calling was to become a Speech Language Pathologist because I struggled with a stuttering problem and I have the urgency to help people who stutter or other speech disorders. However, my passion for this career is fading quickly due to the knowledge of budget cuts happening and knowing I would be doing the paperwork more than the speech therapy. I failed to reach my GRE score 3 times, and unable to get to grad school or find a job as a SLP assistant. At the moment I'm not sure what my calling is anymore, but this video helped me have a good idea of what I should do to find out. Thank you Fang Kai Low for your speech, incredibly motivating!

That's how I've always been as a teen, always sounded judgmental and condescending but in my mind I've always take it as a goal like what is a person's calling, their gifts then I'd assess people if they're into the appropriate path for them... I find it beautiful until I got into college and the environment just crushed it, I took Psychology so that I'd know how to learn how to handle and deal with people so that when the time comes to start my business I'd know how to do things (ya know the approach of learn from the book/manual first then do it) but then again the atmosphere in college, everything's politicized, then it's questionable if either the teachers practice and know what they teach or not, it just crushed my spirit and as someone with ADHD a passion is what helps a person find their calling/career but then sigh...

I've heard about headhunting and I didn't know it could be so fulfilling
