> Dilbert started out as just one of many get-rich schemes I was willing to try. When it started to look as if it might be a success, my passion for cartooning increased because I realized it could be my golden ticket. In hindsight, it looks as if the projects that I was most passionate about were also the ones that worked. But objectively, my passion level moved with my success. Success caused passion more than passion caused success. I'd argue that Scott Adams' argument about passion isn't telling the whole story. I think Tom Kelley of IDEO said it best - He said to imagine a Venn diagram with three circles (1) What you love, (2) What you're great at, and (3) What makes money. Finding something that satisfies all three is ideal (but probably unattainable for most), while Scott Adams seems to be arguing that having (2) and (3) without (1) is the "best bet". Both are fair points, I think.
