You're not passionate about it

Whatever it is that you want to do,

you'll find in life that if you're not passionate

about what it is you're working on, 

you won't be able to stick with it.

- Jeff Bezos

How to be passionate about something?

- sense of purpose

- how the work you're doing

  can contribute positively to the society

Do I have a sense of purpose?

Was it worth spending

all that time in these projects?

Absolutely!
