Passion vs. Excellence

February 11, 2008

There’s just no way I can’t pay attention to Larry Winget. Honesty is just too refreshing, and he deals it every time. His latest blog entry is just such a treat and he’s dead on in my opinion. “Passion is a load of crap.” … My point to him was that passion is little more than a starting place but true long term success is based on excellence and hard work. … I know many passionate people. They are passionately stupid, passionately wrong and passionately incompetent. Passion and success have about as much to do with each other as gravy and Raisin Bran.

About FreeTheAnimal

I'm Richard Nikoley. Free The Animal began in 2003 and as of 2020, has 5,000 posts and 120,000 comments from readers.
