Scott Adams, founder of the comic strip Dilbert, thinks passion and goals are bull poo. What he favors are systems.
What does he mean exactly? Well, he can explain better than I can, so you should follow this little slideshow.
To sum up with a simple anecdote, passions are misleading, but are often what HUGELY successful people lean on in keynotes. Losing 10 pounds? That’s a goal.

This can be applied to many things. As this is a writing blog, I’ve got some thoughts I’ll share tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy his little slideshow. It’ll only take two minutes of your time.
