The article critiques the common advice of 'follow your dreams,' arguing that it's often unrealistic or misleading. Many young people enter the workforce without a clear sense of their dreams, making this advice potentially damaging. Instead, the author advocates for a focus on following opportunities that may arise, suggesting that this pragmatic approach can lead to more successful outcomes. The cultural obsession with achieving one's dreams has created a narrative where not doing so equates to failure, adding unnecessary pressure to individuals just starting their professional journeys.
