I personally learned trading by just following the market. Initially, i thought reading a lot anf watching plenty videos could help but I later realized me getting involved was the best move. I did try to read up on why the market nade a certain move and then I learn from it. Did that over and over again till i understood things. And note: always have patience.
I think your reason is good, when we like something we can be expert in that thing because we love what we doing. It is still better than people who start trading only because see the others get success, and want money in instant way.
