Ask HN: Have you found your passion yet?

I think being good at something does not mean that's your passion. I think it's more about finding a passion, and working towards to be good at it would make more sense. That's the case for me.

I was exposed to web programming early age, built my first Geocities website that served pirated movies, at the age of 11. After finishing the website, I noticed a lot of people actually came to my site, wrote thank you notes in my shitty, Geocities guestbook.

Being 11 years old, seeing those thank you notes really encouraged me to move forward, and bought my first PHP book.

Ever since, I started building websites and products to reach out to the users. There were lots of failures, actually, most were failures, but that didn't stop me from moving forward.

Passion is something that you find value in doing. For me, it's not about the money, but it's about seeing those thank you notes for providing value to my customers.

Thanks for your comment. When I graduated, yes it was about $$$ but now it's not about the money anymore. I feel that if I start finding value in something, start enjoying something on a daily basis. @ this point If I request you to give me one suggestion what would it be?
