One technique I found effective is to just pay attention for the day to what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker. Do that for the week. Where your strengths are, passion often follows. The other key is experimenting with other areas. I see people settle into ruts when what they need is to enjoy the process of learning new things. I think of it like a portfolio. Invest in your current flagship, but test the waters with other speedboats. Finding your passion can be tough. There’s so many herrings.

LOL I hope this doesn't make me sound stuck-up or anything but I was terrified to end up like them. There was one episode where a woman (a mother, even) left her *college-educated*, rational-minded, generous husband for a delivery boy because he could beat the former up. :P Some people, I swear ... But I'm going to read that last article; I've never heard such an argument, though I have noticed that in my friends who DO play first-person shooters on the regular, they seem to have faster reflexes, physically and mentally.
