Hlo guys and @Andy Black , I have a question for you. I've been reading the book fast lane millionaire for some time now and I got to a point where MJ describes 'that we should not do what we love for money otherwise it corrupts our love towards that activity, just like how Mj hated driving after doing the limo job'. After this topic MJ talks about passion of how he had passion for a Lamborghini for which he was willing to do whatever it takes . My question is what is passion, as for me I like to make Art I'm an artist. I spent hours making art everyday whenever I get time. All of this started because i was a kid so loved video games but never got a chance to play one. After that one day I saw a game called last of us on YouTube and I was super fascinated by it. At that very moment I decided to make games and I started gaining the required knowledge , things were going pretty normal. But then one day I stumbled upon a question in my life 'How am I going to get money for making this game'.

I was not the brightest kid in my class but I always tried to be one. Although I got interested in computers and got quite knowledgeable on it. I always hated the idea of doing a job from starting and since I was not very good in studies in my school days. So I can't be one of those said to be high income doctor, engineer or lawyer etc . So I got an alternative of it, I made up mind for being businessman. Still learning on how to be one. In the end all I'm asking is what is passion is it something materialistic or something we love to do. Coz I really think I love game and making it. So am I being true to myself , that I really like doing what I believe I like to do. And lastly can (doing what you love) be ones passion as well.
