Above all, you have to love what you are doing. You cannot fake passion. If you love it you can fight through the rough times and enjoy the good times.

About the Quote
We may be good at something, but do we love doing that thing? If we don't love doing that thing, then we won't care as much when things go bad. If we love it, then we do all we can to keep it going and to do well at it.
Passion can make up for lack of skill or technique. Passion can also help one acquire that very skill or technique which is lacking. Passion also allows us to work far beyond what is expected of us in whatever we do.
For something we love to do, there will be moments when it's not fun, or it may be filled with many disappointments. But the success we find more than makes up for the disappointments, and having passion may help us handle bad times until the good times return.
