the missing ingredient is teaching kids and exposing them to things that would help them develop a passion. and more importantly help them to develop a purpose. for myself i believe that the very purpose of life is to contribute to the advancement of civilization. iaw: do something useful for the world. no matter how small. developing a passion from that is much easier this also solves the problem of ruining a passion if it is turned into work because do something useful is a higher order value.
