What advice should they ignore? If you’re really smart, you’ll drop the drivenness. It doesn’t matter what’s driving you; when you’re driven, you are like a leaf, driven by the wind. You have no real autonomy. You are bound to be blown off course, even if you reach what you believe is your goal. And don’t confuse being driven with being authentically animated by an inner calling. One state leaves you depleted and unfulfilled; the other fuels your soul and makes your heart sing. What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise? “Just say no” (to drugs, gambling, eating, sex, etc.) is the least helpful advice one can say to a human being caught up in any addiction. If they could say no, they would. The whole point of addiction is that people are compelled to it by suffering, trauma, unease, and emotional pain. If you want to help people, ask why they are in so much pain that they are driven (there’s that word again) to escape from it through ultimately self-harming habits or substances. Then support them in healing the trauma at the core of their addiction, a process that always starts with nonjudgmental curiosity and compassion.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Timothy Ferriss" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/timothy-ferriss/what-advice-would-you-give-to-a-smart-driven-college-student-about-to-7/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/609/timothy-ferriss-973_addiction_what-advice-would-you-give-to-a-smart-dr_1509417.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/609/timothy-ferriss-973_addiction_what-advice-would-you-give-to-a-smart-dr_1509417.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/609/timothy-ferriss-973_addiction_what-advice-would-you-give-to-a-smart-dr_1509417.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the “real world”?
