Question:

If you have a passion for something but people say you have no talent, do you think you should continue?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You should definitely continue. But at the same time consider alternatives. Let's say that you, like many folks now days, are passionate about music. You know how to play several instruments, can read music but you are tone deaf, couldn't carry a tune in bucket with a lid on it without a written score. Well, practice will only get you so far with playing music. BUT! You could still say, Teach music, work at a music recording studio, Hey maybe find out your talent is advertising and make some rock group famous.
The same is true of other passions as well. Maybe you love art but can't draw...you could be an art critic, an art appraiser what ever. If you look hard enough there are all kinds of ways to work at you passion other than the 'main' way, the obvious way.
Hmmm. I may be talking myself into something here.
