Passion
Passion is great, but please don’t link it with your work. Please don’t say you are passionate about design; you should be passionate about life, not your work.
I know it is a great word, but here is a better one: dedication. I understand being committed, but it is hard for me to understand passion since it is an emotion so hard to control.

Leave the passion for your loved ones; be passionate about life; it is where all our motivation comes from.
