Passion and Practicality

"Entreprenuers tend to believe - "I have got my idea. I'll go with it until I die." But I advise them to take seriously the questions about whether their plan is irredeemably flawed, and whether they need to change what they are doing. Be diligent about failing fast so that you dont spend five years doing something thats just going to fail"

- Reid Hoffman ( With Alyssa Abkowitz, Fortune)

Pretty nicely put. Its very easy for entrepreneurs to go overboard with their convictions. Reality checks are needed from time to time and the dividing lines between passion and practicality have to be clearly marked.
