According to the TED talk by Bryan Dik vocation refers to an individual’s response to a call past ones self
to utilize gifts and strength they have in their career paths to make there career pays accomplished in
terms of leadership, creativity and service. The talk further sates that individuals require coming a
realistic internalization of their natural abilities and strengths through conversations and personal
reflections. Similarly, they need to mirror what they develop in conversations with their mentors and
teachers. In the process of a call, they need to sacrifice to achieve excellent and exemplary results. The
talk further identifies the need for people to serve others to enable the well-being of the entire society.
Nevertheless, people are required to realize that vocation is not static to their job. They need to follow it
despite the career path it leads them to just like the example of the old man who decided to follow his
calling to be a man of God despite it being different from his career. People who respond to their calling
are required to engage in career paths they have strong feelings for.
