How you can learn to love your work | Navajith Karkera


Passion isn’t always found—it’s often built. This talk challenges the myth of “doing what you love” and instead explores how curiosity, commitment, and impact can help craft work that matters.

It's an invitation to stop chasing a perfect calling, and start shaping meaningful passion through the choices we make every day.
