      What is it that separates the men from the boys, the good from the great? Aptitude is one essential factor, but another is drive, or passion. You have to have that passion for what you do, pushing yourself to be better. SAM is smart, very smart. However, it was, and is, his passion for what he does that made him push to learn what he did, like he did, as fast as he did. It's paid its dividends many times over, I'm sure. However, it's pushing yourself beyond that proverbial comfort zone that makes you excel. Read more here!

                  Good article. The only bit I completey disagree with (as someone who is generally fairly lazy) is this

                  "we’re going to use passion and hard-work synonymously, as you can’t be truly passionate and not be working hard"

                      I stand by that statement. If you have passion, you care. Therefore, you will work hard.

                        @ajstringham I think CB is right. If you are a Chevy you are a car, but not all cars are Chevys.

                        If you are passionate you likely will work hard. But you may work hard and not be passionate. Lots of people hate what they do but feel compelled to work hard.

                          I took it the opposite way. I though the meant you can be passionate and not work hard. I would say that is not true. But what you said is true.
