> Also hardly anyone sucks at their passion
Anecdotally, I know far too many people who have devoted years to areas they have little to no aptitude in (in the arts, and in business). They have no natural talent and are getting nowhere (by any metric, not just financial), but they do love their field.
- iaw 11y agoI could not agree more. I think people are conflating the things one enjoys doing with passion.
- markdown 11y agoAre you implying that if people aren't good at something they love doing, they just aren't passionate about it... and that with real passion, being great at something is inevitable?
- iaw 11y agoNot in any way. I'm saying that enjoying doing something is not the same as being passionate about it. There are many things I enjoy that I don't have a passion for. Passion and pleasure are being conflated a lot here.
