If you’re having trouble finding your passion, try looking back on what you were doing when you were eleven years old or so. Was there anything meaningful you were doing that was just for you: Not for school and not for your parents?

That’s probably your passion.

—Neil Strauss

Just having a dream is not enough; just having a mentor or guide is not enough; just working hard is not enough. You need to be receptive, positive, and open: in short, teachable.

—Neil Strauss
