I disagree with this. Passion is the outcome of ability and achievement not the cause. If you wait to be passionate about what you need to do you'll be waiting a long time. You need to do the hard work and then the passion follows, not the other way around.

I doubt that's the case. For one, there's plenty of people who are excellent at their jobs, but who dislike them. Also, there's plenty of people who are passionate about things that they are terrible at.
