Start your passion young
If you dream about flying, or motocross or guitar playing. Tell exactly that to your parents.
Don't withhold a dream. Sometimes a test lesson, or test "flight" is all you need to know if you want to do this.
Most things are easy when young. Learn them when you are young.
At this point in time I am trying to learn to play the guitar. Its not that easy for me.
At the same time I did want to fly planes, although expensive I looked at the cheapest way to learn how to fly and found that gliding or soaring was the cheapest. My dad gave me a chance on a test flight and I learned to fly after that.
I never asked him about playing the guitar!
