Motivation is not the same as delivering results.

I might have the same high motivation to be an awesome games programmer, but that still doesn't mean I will be as good as Carmack.

I don't fault LoveLinux for his viewpoints, as they are based on his observation; and he is trying to make the best decision for his kids... I think if what he/she had said, was said by Bill Cosby or George Lopez, we would be applauding their honesty...
