There are libraries, you know. I recommend them wholeheartedly!

It absolutely depends on what you call "passion." That said, if you haven't defined "passion" you probably shouldn't tell people not to follow it. For that matter, what does "follow" mean? You think I didn't try to become a professional musician? Back when Death Cab for Cutie was called Pinwheel I mixed their first album; I would have been the keyboardist for a band that would have given Cornershop a run for their money if my girlfriend hadn't forbid me (long story). They broke up instead. But I also "followed" other "passions."
