Re: [Video] Why you will fail to have a great career.

Is "passion" a learnable behaviour? I first saw this video a couple of months ago and it really struck a cord with me then. It still strikes a cord with me for many reasons, but a conversation at lunch today got me wondering if "passion" is a learnable trait. Or is passion what occurs at the intersection of skill and interest? Or is passion a personality trait that some are born with and some are not? Or (most likely) is it a mixture of the above factors?

P.S. The lunch comment was about a person so passionate about things that they could get a crowd excited about collecting pennies.

This would seem that passion can be spread and thus is acquireable and not just a born characteristic, but is is just infectious to those that are susceptible?
