Looking for resources that talk about life-long learning, not just in a “career”

I'm an instructional designer working on a course about career readiness for first year students and the content is great except for the first section. My boss is open to changing it but I have to have replacement content if I want to take something out. The section is very “jobs are just for money careers are for passion” and I want to keep an emphasis on life-long learning but make sure it's obvious that this is for a person's overall growth, not just advancing in a traditional career. These skills are useful for everyone even if you're not working a job that uses them or if you work to have money so you can pursue your passions in other ways. If you have any TED talks, videos, or resources that are openly licensed that might work, I'd love to hear about them!
