Passion over ability

"Passion is more important than ability. You can lean skills, but you can't learn passion." According to Tom Peters, the world's most expensive management guru, who blogs here. The world is desperate for original out-of-the-box thinkers who don't fit the box, but color outside the lines. His presentation slides (free download) prove the point, there's no uniformity.

Or as someone else said: passion is good, but it won't bring food on the table.

That's the grey mouse approach, yes. Reality is that true passion (doing what you're uniquely gifted to do) does bring food on the table. Ask anyone who really pursues his/her dreams out of the prescribed box.
