Direct Address

Throughout the talk, Trespicio addresses members of the audience directly with the pronoun “you”:

… there’s a dangerously limiting idea at the heart of everything we believe about success and life in general. And it’s that you have one singular passion and your job is to find it and to pursue it to the exclusion of all else. And if you do that, everything will fall into place. And if you don’t, you failed. (ll. 6-9)

Here, Trespicio also addresses the general audience who might be influenced by the idea that people should pursue a single passion in their lives.

Trespicio also uses the plural “we” when she talks about society’s tendency to believe that passion should come before professional success: “We know this and yet we continue to use passion as the yardstick to judge everything by, instead of seeing passion for what it really is: the fire that ignites when you start rubbing sticks together” (ll. 22-24). In this example, Trespicio disproves this myth and shows the audience her unconventional attitude towards career and passion.
