Should you follow your passion?
It is not easy to do something special, and you may not be happy every day.
Joy is not a definition of a good day for me. Jobs that bring you much happiness are super rare, and I love the company I am part of [the reason I joined]; I may not love every day at the job I need to do.
NO PAIN, NO GAIN. You will suffer, struggle, do hard things, feel the pain of execution, endeavor, re-focus, and push hard.
I wish you the greatness of feeling momentum forward, which is, in translation, I wish you a healthy dose of suffering and pain in doing something special and feeling great at the end.
