How many of us have been told to "follow your dreams" or "do what makes you happy," only to realize as you get older that following your dreams comes with strings attached? Hala Faour heard these common refrains from her parents, teachers, and everywhere in pop culture, but was disappointed to discover how few people actually meant it. "Some of us have things that make us who we are. And I find that way too rare and valuable to just throw away." In this Talk, Hala shares a fresh perspective on what it means to follow your dreams.
