“Why "Follow Your Passion" Fails:
Whoever hands you that advice is assuming two things, and both are usually wrong. First, that you already know what your passion is. Most people don't. Second, that you only have one. We all have several obsessions and most of us haven't identified a single one to go for.
The word passion comes from the Latin for suffering. What people should be telling you is to find the thing you're willing to suffer for.”
