Loving something can be very motivating

The title really has nothing to do with my quote except a thread of thought but whatever...

Ecclesiastes Seven: 1-6
A good name is better than fine perfume,
  and the day of death better than the day of birth.
It is better to go to a house of mourning
  than to go to a house of feasting,
for death is the destiny of every man;
  the living should take this to heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter,
  because a sad face is good for the heart.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
  but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.
It is better to heed a wise man's rebuke
  than to listen to the song of fools.
Like the crackling of thorns under the pot,
  so is the laughter of fools.
  This too is meaningless.
