This is not possible unless we understand what passion really is, how one discovers it and so much more. If you look into lives of so many people working on what they are passionate about, you’ll see there was point of time they were introduced to their passion too by someone, something or some incident. It could be because the teacher who taught was passionate about teaching, or the incline of the individual was high, or that people had triggered a lot of subconscious value for that particular thing.
