A common piece of advice that is wrong, always has been wrong and I assume will always be wrong is “follow your dreams”. This implies that success is guaranteed if you just believe in yourself, which isn’t true. It’s like saying if you just take a leap of faith, the universe will catch you. But it doesn’t work that way – life isn’t a fairy tale. You need to put in hard work and make sacrifices to achieve your goals. It’s not enough to just have passion and ambition; you need dedication, perseverance, and resilience too.
