On: Why You Need More Than Passion to be Successful

[TheSpiceIsLife]

I'm not buying this uniqueness argument. There are 7 billion people on the planet, surely we have a lot in common with at least a few of them.

If listening to someone else's path had no application to our own there'd be no pointing hanging out on HN, or talking to anyone in general.

To the contrary, in my experience a lot can be gleaned from hearing other people's stories.

  Yes, certain motives may be similar but the method and journey are always unique

This has nothing to do with "conversing" and everything to do with advice-driven self-help books which use vague terms to supersede wisdom similar to astrology.
