The post talks about passion being a multiplier of success, not the reason for it. Spot on.


Tons of people say to "follow your passion" but in the context of the startup world, you can be passionate about something you suck at, and it'll fail, which will make you very...unhappy. Passion is a nice to have but not a pre-requisite for success.


1000% agreed. We almost always learn more from our failures than our wins.
