Peter Ceccarelli commented on Jason Webster's blog post 'What Comes First - Passion Or Skill?'"This is the problem with people who have PHD's. They're typically wrong!"
Vinay Johar - RChilli commented on Jason Webster's blog post 'What Comes First - Passion Or Skill?'"Agree to this,

Jeff Dahlberg commented on Jason Webster's blog post 'What Comes First - Passion Or Skill?'"I think passions is more of a degree of love which can enhance the desire to learn or become more skilled, and skill is something learned which can increase our abilities and confidence to become more passionate. In that…"

Recently, I came across a book called So Good They Can’t Ignore You – Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love. In it, Cal Newport, Ph.D from Georgetown University, claims that following one’s passion might very well be terrible advice.Instead, he feels that we need to leverage our skills, which will then lead to ultimate job satisfaction. Starting with passion, he states, is a dangerous path. What if we are passionate about something that leads to a dead-end career when we…See More
Lisa J. Green commented on Jason Webster's blog post 'What Comes First - Passion Or Skill?'"Thanks for sharing this Jason! I agree with Amy and couldn't have said it better than she did!

Jason Webster commented on Jason Webster's blog post 'What Comes First - Passion Or Skill?'"Thanks for the comment Sarah. I believe certain people can master certain skills more quickly than others. However, passion is the key ingredient. You cannot teach passion. I agree that you have to love something to do well!"
"I look at it this way: Anyone can be taught or learn a skill provided they wish to learn it. If you don't love what you do it's hard to excel in it."
Jason Webster commented on Jason Webster's blog post 'What Comes First - Passion Or Skill?'"Thanks Danny......I'm on the same page with you, and tell my kids the same exact thing:)"
Danny Powell commented on Jason Webster's blog post 'What Comes First - Passion Or Skill?'"Passion, Passion and more passion. As I told myt kids when they were growing up " I don't care which career path you choose as long as you are commited and passionate about it" "
