This question is important. However, there are things to consider here and from experience; what is the passion. Is it a good passion if yes. Its a good place to start as this is necessary for you to stand in your own lot, believeing in yourself, getting a natiral flow in delivery, doing what you like and what you are wired for. Then, passion is like a fire and power on itself but must be balanced with certain factors such as DISCPLINE, RESILIENCE, LISTENING EARS TO PEOPLE, COMMON SENSE and A CONSISTENT RECOURSE TO THE SETTER OF THE PASSION IN YOU I.E GOD or else it can turn out sour on many sides. You dont need to learn by experience. I know some of these sides and have had victories over those sourness traps but the passion in me has been sustained for over a decade now. If you feel you need clarity on this, i can further this discussion soo people can learn well and get forward faster.
