 Passion is not enough. We may be already used to the popular cliché, follow your passion. This is not entirely wrong advice when applied in the right context. From my interaction with career professionals and business entrepreneurs, I can confidently say passion has been taken to the extreme and lost its true essence. The easiest way for a subject or a concept to lose its meaning and essence is when we go extreme with it. Passion is very important when starting out your business, but it's not going to be enough. If you think about it, cars are not driven on passion. If you're passionate about driving, but don't have the skill and knowledge required to drive, then you can passionately kill yourself while trying to drive it. Passion may get you started, but you soon run out of it if you don't add the required knowledge and skill to passion. So a combination of passion, knowledge and skill is required to succeed in business and subsequently in anything. I see young chaps moving solely on passion. The interesting thing with passion is that you can passionately kill yourself. We need to follow passion, however, with a huge dose of skill and accurate knowledge. Passion is a start point because you need that enthusiasm to master or master the stress of business or any scale or any issue, but it is not enough. Because besides just doing something, you need to think of how to excel at it. Passion doesn't help you with that. You need the skill or not. So you summarize everything about everything, not just business, even relationships, even health, career, everything. Life, generally, is beyond passion. Passion is a good way to start, but to progress, to sustain. You need knowledge and skill. So what have you said, Victor? Fantastic. Passion should be the datum point. The datum level. Let me say the entry level. You are passionate about something. Fine, good enough. Talgod, you are passionate about that stuff. Add the necessary skill. Add relevant network. Ideas and knowledge and growth from there. So passion is not enough. It's very, very true. Very true. So I agree with that. Maybe Toyin has something else. Passion is killing me. Passion is important actually. Passion is painful. Passion is stressful. You know, be careful of that thing you ask for because you might get it, right? Passion. And so I definitely go with passion. Just in my experience, I tend to kind of throw myself into things and then try and just float. Try, you know, I'm like a duck, still on the top, but like I'm furiously working on the bottom. And so I think you bring up something very important, especially for young people out there. Because that's really, when you're young, it's really when you have a lot of passion. You have a lot of dreams. You have a lot of energy. You have a lot of energy. Yeah. And you have time. And you have time. Yes, exactly. So it's easy to kind of run away with that. But at the same time, yes, you need the skill. Yes, you need all this, blah, blah, blah, blah. But really, without the passion, it's not going anywhere. So when we work on productions, when you're going through the creative process, there has to be someone with that vision. There has to be someone with that passion. If it's not there, all the reading, all the skills, all that, it doesn't matter. It falls very flat. So the key element is that passion. Yes, you need the skills, but it's not always a cerebral thing. It's often an organic thing. So yes, passion kills. It's killing me. But at the same time, it is the major ingredient needed. It is major. The other things are like sides, like when you order your food and you order a side. The other things are the sides. And that's why I said, thanks a lot Tony. That's why I said it's not enough. I record, I talked to a bunch of entrepreneurs out of businesses. So what do I do on all of those things? And speaking to one, he was going to be a social entrepreneur. He just got out of school for NYC. And I'm like, so I'm passionate. I just want to, I want to impact 10,000 lives. I just want to start an NGO. So I'm like, okay, so what do you have currently? Do you have a personal financial economics? What sustains you? Why you do this? Well, I don't have a job. I don't have any money. I believe that, you know, when I put it out there, who will support you, give me the books, the bags to go and share the schools. I'm like, what you need now is to take that passion, right? Keep it somewhere, right? You're locked in somewhere. Go and get a job, learn, serve, right? Work, get some money, and then sustain. Because again, you can't be a beneficiary of the NGO that you're supposed to be serving. You know, when you're serving marginalized community, well, you are marginalized yourself, right? You've not been able to take care of your personal economy. So you get a job. Then with the right timing, then you can now have bringing the passion. So like you can say, passion is important, right? It's key. Without it, really, you really can't even move anything, right? The vision, the knowledge. Again, using the analogy of a car, I may have, I may know how to drive. I may have, I may be a good driver, a good drifter. But if I don't have the passion to go drive, I would not drive. The car will be there, the keys will be there. But I think it's an interesting position to be than I have the passion to drive. And you can't drive. And I can't drive. And then I try to drive. Again, I think the first time I tried it, I bashed my doubts. That's a result of that. So you can pass through. I rather stay alive with knowledge, right? And then work on my passion. Oh, I don't know about that. Then let passion be. I don't know about that. I'm sorry. You can have to try. I don't know about that. No, no. I'm just saying that. That's why I say it's not enough. The two is complementary. They can be together. Passion and selfish and loving. But I see a lot of world chaps. Running only with passion. With energy, passion. I have an issue. I wouldn't call it passion. For me, I'd rather die for my passion than the mechanics. I think what Victor is trying to say is we have to have both. Because life is hard. Business is hard. Without passion, you're going to give up. Without the knowledge and everything. Without skills and knowledge. Even when you had passion. You're still running out of fuel. So it's the both. So we have to find our center. Our yin and our yang. Our Shackles muscle. We can try. Juliet is next after the break. Do stay with us.
