As was intrigued by that uncommon advice "don't follow your passion, follow your effort" but after I read Mark Cuban's post I'd say he's right. What do you guys think?

- chrisbalt 14y agoI definitely appreciate Cuban's words. I think the truth is that one must question the sincerity of their passion if they're unwilling to put forth effort for it. For many, I think a passion is something they'd like people to think they do. If they're really passionate about it, they'll do something about it; at that point, there'd be no question.
- donebizkit 14y agoI am guilty of that as well. When I am passionate it usually mean that I want to scratch an itch. But now I think that passion is something that comes after you put a lot of effort on the subject matter. BTW, I submitted Cuban's post to HN to challenge the notion of passion http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4680098 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4680098
