What matters more in work — skill or love?

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

Acharya Prashant (AP): What's your name?

Listener (L): Venugopal.

AP: Venugopal, repeat your question for everybody. Which instrument did you initially had a liking for?

L: Tabla.

AP: But you say that you were forced to play?

L: Violin.

AP: And today you say that you are greatly fond of playing the violin.

L: And I know it myself.

AP: Do you see what is happening? Venu clearly recalls that at some point in his life there was something that he was attracted to. But then circumstances made him do something else. And today he says that he is greatly fond of the thing which he initiated probably under pressure.

There was a boy who was greatly fond of this girl but because of various reasons, because of parental pressure, he married another girl. When he was marrying the second girl, he hated it. He was crying. Today after 20 years, he has 2 kids with that girl. He claims he is greatly in love with his wife and he also says that the best that could happen to him was that he got married to this woman.
