“Follow” implies that you discover the passion in advance then go match it to a job. At which point, you’re done.

“Cultivate” implies that you work toward building passion for your job. This is a longer process but it’s way more likely to pay dividends. It requires you to approach your work like a craftsman. Honing your ability, and then leveraging your value, once good, to shape your working life toward the type of lifestyle that resonates with you.

following passion is terrible in work but humanly we cannot deny it is important,but should be under control

Passion is closely linked to my happiness , contentment and personal growth. I’m a big proponent of doing what I'm passionate about, so I don't embrace “following your passion,” as it were, so much so that I am cultivating my passion to find meaningful of life, to finding and pursuing my personal and career growth.

In cultivating your passion, you are providing water and feed for the seed of passion that has yet to blossom. You are working toward fully developing your passion, making it something you need it to be in order to grow yourself, and turning it into a lifelong path to happiness and a solid work-life balance.

When following your passion, you have already full established what that passion is and know how to navigate it and use it to benefit you and your career.

Passion is something innate and environmental work on the sense of the development of the individual

The different emotion which is the cost for self emotion that are on their individual himself

So the passion is still cultivated a certain time

While the passion of self, which is on its same individual grow and prosper and earn him the love of others

Passion is great and of course it’s important for us to love what we do, but as well if it’s not delivering the added value and not taking others perspectives, it will turn the other way.

“Following” your passion suggests something more specific — a strategy that’s not supported by the evidence. If you want to enjoy a life of lasting success, one of the most important things you can do is cultivate your passion.

To follow is to identify in advance and I don’t think that you can be really passionate about anything unless you know about it and really tried it and measure its outcome. Sometimes, it is an opportunity that drives us to do something and we cultivate passion about to proceed. True success demands that you be yourself, and being yourself includes educating and developing yourself in the areas you are most passionate about.

 

It’s up to you to decide to cultivate your passion. Cultivating your passion is like growing a garden, it is not plant and it is not plan it and forget it. It’s a process that lasts a lifetime and success is its fruits.

I agree with the previous answers by the colleagues, I might add that you might cultivate passion towards your job if you have the right mindset and approach to it. Just following your passion will not get you in the right position for career advancement.

Passion is very important thing in human life

But if your decisions are always motivated by emotion is negative and often adversely affect work

But also logical and acceptable to enter a passion sometimes to serve the work and impact positively on the psyche of the people who deal with them, including raising their morale and impact positively on the way to work and perform the desired results

 

Follow your passion means that you have something in mind & then go about trying to achieve it. Once this is done then you may or may not want to review it & then go ahead or otherwise. It has a limited aim. It may or may not necessarily lead to a success in life.

However cultivate means you are steadily building your passion for a particular role in life for which you will have to set long term & short term objectives & achieve them one by one. this will also entail new learning initiatives & gaining more experience. This will ensure a more steady path towards success.
