It takes time to learn a topic, that's a form of passion - a drive.
That's not to say you have to burn all hours on it tho. Which I think is what you're assuming there. That's honestly somewhat unhealthy and only super passionate people (and lucky ones at that) can do that for any length of time.
- vonmoltke 9y agoPassion requires enthusiasim, not merely drive.
- abritinthebay 9y agoAnd spending effort to learn something requires some level of enthusiasm
- vonmoltke 9y agoI disagree. I have learned plenty of things I had no enthusiasm for because they were a means to an end.
- rifung 9y agoNot really.. I have friends with no interest in computers but who studied CS because they knew it would lead to a well paying job. They work at Amazon and Google now so I guess it worked out for them. One requires motivation, but that motivation does not necessarily have to be interested or passion.
- abritinthebay 9y agoIn that case they have a passion for making money ;) That’s what motivated them to learn. I doubt that’s what causes them to stay. If it is tho... That’s enough.
