Passion

Passion is caring for something, loving something,
dedicating a portion of yourself, your mind,
your heart, and your soul – because you're
passionate about it.

Passion is the spark for everything.  By itself,
passion is never enough.  Just like talent is never
enough.  But it's your firestarter.

Without passion, you won't do something
100 percent.  That's the bottom line.

And what's the point of doing something if you're not doing it 100 percent?
