Passion is a big driver. I've witnessed people who are not that good at something but push hard and get themselves noticed and as a result are successful.
As corny as it sounds, Joe Jackson said it all, "You cant get what you want until you know what you want"
I wish I had a career I was passionate about. Since I have had kids, I have been so impressed by our peditricians. Sometimes we go to them so distressed and desperate and they make everything all right. That must be a very rewarding career. I'm sure there are plenty of very depressing issues they deal with that I do not see. I wish I could go home at the end of teh day feeling like I made a differnce. I feel like I spend all day digging a hole and at night someone comes by and fills it up.
