How important is it to be passionate about work?
A large body of evidence-based career advice says, yes, employees who are
passionate about what they do will be both happier and more productive at
work. Their passion stems from caring deeply about what they do or where
they work and being personally invested in and motivated by its mission.

The only way to do great

work is to love what you do.
How important is it to be passionate about work?
1. But, is passion really the most important key to success?
2. What about the large percentage of people who don’t absolutely love their current
job - are they doomed to a life of failure and misery?

There is a vocal chorus of neigh sayers who claim “not at all,” who believe job-related passion
isn’t a key driver for success but, rather, an over-rated, over-valued trait that more often than
not leads people down the wrong career path.

Mark Cuban echoes other “passionate” critics who take a more pragmatic approach and suggests
people focus their careers more on what they’re good at and what they tend to devote their time
to (again, because this is what they’ll end up being most good at), leaving true passions for the
hobby bin.
