The advice to follow your passion is fundamentally flawed and leads to chronic job dissatisfaction, whereas mastering rare and valuable skills naturally generates passion.
Pre-existing passions are rarely transferable to viable careers, making the passion hypothesis a dangerous path to unrealistic expectations and chronic job shifting.

Mastering a craft requires deliberate practice, which demands that you consistently push yourself beyond your professional comfort zone while seeking rigorous feedback.
