Love this explanation and I think it does a very good job of &quot;stereo-tying&quot; characteristics of people and especially some people I know, work with and even myself.<p>Especially the half-hearted portion, even at work I&#x27;ll get a passionate idea, begin implementing it and get some good progress on it. Then one day I&#x27;ll just not feel as passionate about it or begin doubting the quality of it. Usually through trying to validate it with my peers and not receiving the feedback I had hoped for because they may not be as passionate about it, don&#x27;t care about whatever it is I&#x27;m working on or, In some cases I&#x27;ve gotten the horse in front of the carriage and shown them something that only gives a small picture of the overall end product in my head with them ultimately not being able to see what the final product could be. Not receiving a &quot;job well done&quot; or feeling like someone isn&#x27;t impressed or doesn&#x27;t like something I had been so passionate about working on makes it difficult to continue the passion for that project.<p>All I can do is keep working towards being satisfied and passionate about my own work, try to push myself to keep being passionate and maybe that&#x27;s all the validation I really need.
