Maby its my fault

I belive its true when they say honesty true when they say honesty is the best policy because it is something can always be felt if not seen.
I couldn't understand how it is possible for people achieve excellence without passion, I mean if you're not passionate about what you're practicing it only means that you’re not being honest to yourself but how do you achieve such heights of excellence without passion, money you would suggest but how far can money actually drive a person isn't the super rich always an oppression to others.
How do they rejoice with a burden?
