What they don't tell you is that passion isn't just emergent in an individuals, it's from a feedback loop that an individual has with a community. Passion flourishes in the exchange of ideas and mutual growth; 99% of the time, it dies when you're just left to your own devices. You'll have that random dude who becomes an expert chainsaw sculptor innawoods every once and a while, but every artist, every scientist, every engineer of note was part of some academy or guild or informal movement where they were constantly producing work and getting timely, meaningful feedback. Doesn't even need to be supportive feedback; could be people constantly taking the piss out of you and you being driven to prove them wrong. But if you get absolutely nothing from your peers, just consistent apathy, passion dies on the vine. Your brain can only summon up the will, for so long, to attribute meaning to something everyone around you considers meaningless. Eventually the lack of stimulus forces you to attend to something that actually gets you attention.
