Follow passions for true happiness: Focus on passions for joy, not just financial success. Encouraged students to pursue passions, even if not financially viable, for a fulfilling life.
However, Watts argues that following our passions is the key to true happiness, and we should focus on what brings us joy rather than solely on financial success. In his vocational guidance sessions, Watts would ask students what they would do if money were no object, and encourage them to pursue those passions, even if they didn't initially seem financially viable. He believed that spending one's life doing things one doesn't enjoy in order to make money is a waste of time, and that it's better to have a short life filled with joy than a long one spent in misery.

He encourages us to ask ourselves questions like, "What would I do if money were no object?" and "How would I spend my time if I could do anything?" The speaker emphasizes that if we prioritize money over our passions, we'll end up wasting our time and living unfulfilled lives. He also warns against passing this pattern on to future generations. In essence, the key takeaway is to find joy in what we do and pursue it relentlessly, as financial success will naturally follow.
