Love and passion are as personal as it gets.
> It boils down to love really
And "what's love?" You don't choose who you love or what you're passionate about while determination is deliberate effort. I agree that love helps you do things that are hard but it's so whimsical and out of your control that I think it's not enough. Say you love video games and programming, is that enough to make a successful game? Unless you try tens of games, throw away all but one, debug the hell out the performance and manage to market it in such a crowded market, you'll always fall short I think.

Not very convinced by your analogy. Starting a company is a long-term effort. And usually, there aren't many road blocks on your way to the bathroom.
- unabst 11y agoBut passion is what makes you determined and not give up. Like chasing someone you have a crush on. And imagine wanting to pee in an unfamiliar town or even a foreign country. We would get creative. Starting a company is long-term repetition of immediately threatening circumstances.
