PASSION AND PROFESSION

" Whether we're thinking about starting a small business, or just thinking about what career path to choose, it's important that we follow our passions."

Our today's topic is all the people's view towards their passion and their profession.

When we think about what is needed to be successful in life and in our work, we usually think about characteristics like value, talent, ambition, intellect, discipline, persistence and luck. What many of us often fail to include in this recipe for success is passion. The passion we have, or don't have, for our work should not be underestimated. Sometimes this ingredient could make the biggest difference of all.

What passion is all about?

When I speak of passion, I mean it is the powerful feeling of enthusiasm we all have inside of us. We are all enthusiastic and passionate about something, whether its finance, food or a favorite sport. That enthusiasm is very powerful. When we can combine it with our work, we are setting ourselves up well for achieving true success.

I know, the entire idea of pursuing the thing that you love sounds romantic. And it does feel like the world should stand testimony to your love. But, thou shalt refrain!

Yes, you must know that your pursuit is your personal, and it is only you who has the comprehensive sort of ability to understand your scheme of things. The first thing that one needs to realize before it can be shared with anyone is, whether you really wish to pursue it.
Sometimes, we start off, and somewhere in the middle come to the realization that it may not be our passion after all. So, when you go about passion hopping publicly, you definitely lose credibility, and people stop taking you seriously.
By suggesting this, I do not imply that being secretive can take you any closer to your goal. Once you think that you have a considerable level of seriousness for a craft, do share it with someone, a confidante, a mentor, or a complete stranger may be. It will offer you the benefit of getting some valuable opinions.

PASSION OR MONEY ?

Money does play a very important role in easing the tortuous way to your dream, but cannot and doesn’t make sure that you make no sacrifice.Here’s what, you will always need money to come to a platform that leads you to success. Whether it is writing, entrepreneurship, showbiz, or anything under the sun; even pursuing higher education for that matter, needs funds. And you will have to arrange those. Let me warn you. Chances are that the “beg, borrow, steal” philosophy will not be a plausible one.You need to save money, work extra hours; take a part time job; prioritize needs and expense; and all those sorts of things to get your finances in place.But just in case you have enough finances, you will still need to make time. A simple example is, to spend time improving your skills rather than going out with friends. So, on thing you must be prepared for, is sacrificing.

Criticism will come – sometimes healthy and constructive, sometime bitter and destructive. What will help you here is reason and discretion. Neither is all criticism is meant to discourage you, nor all meant to be for your good. You need to make a distinction.

Naysayers will always be there.The point is, if you believe in yourself, you are sure to make it. And yes, there is a difference between being confident and being complacent. The former will always be open to suggestions and closed to negativity, but I am really doubtful about the latter. I have always been the former case.

Pursue your dream no matter what ,always keep hope ...
