Passion is more complicated, that's why I wrote my #passionbook, @rjwile: Marc Andreessen Gives The Career Advice That Nobody Wants To Hear

Andreessen: Whatever You Do, D...

I think that although in this article Marc said we shouldn't follow your passion, what he really meant is that blindly just dropping everything and doing what we think we're passionate about is not enough. First, we should actively seek and keep discovering our passions.

Second thing is what my mentor Michael Hyatt wrote for my book: “My premise is that you will find it at the intersection of three components: Passion, Proficiency and Profitability. All three of these components are important. Each of them is necessary, but none of them is sufficient in itself. If you have passion and competence without a market, you don’t have a calling. You have a hobby. If you have passion and a market without competence, you don’t have a calling. You have a failure. If you have competence and a market without passion, you don’t have a calling. You have boredom. It really does take all three of them”
