We are not nouns, we are verbs

All the talk about following your passion. I prefer to think about it as developing your passion. Which is why I liked this quote from Stephen Fry:

"Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it…that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing…an actor, a writer…I am a person who does things…I write, I act…and I never know what I am going to do next. I think you can be imprisoned if you think of yourself as a noun."
