Passion
“Passion is a desire to do, or accomplish, or feel love without…without any barriers,” said by Samira in the Initiating the Passion Project. Passion seems to be something people look very affectionate at in the video. It is something that everyone needs to find and what we should follow in life. In the article, “why you shouldn’t follow your passion,” by Paul Michael has a slightly different, but relating opinion towards passion. It questions if people are doing what they love instead of what they are good at. The phrase, “follow your passion” is used as if, “the implication being that at the end of the passion rainbow sits a pot of gold full of happiness. (Paul) It is true, not always, but it is true. Passion is hard to identify for some people and few understand what it means. A child could love animals and love working with animals. Being a vegetarian could be his or her dream job because it seems prestigious. The job saves animals with a very appealing pay and interesting gadgets. The child could want that job more than anything but does she have the necessary skills? He or she has to love animals and science more than anything to be a vet. They must continue school for many years and must stay dedicated. Paul recommends that instead of following our “passion,” a possibly changing emotional roller coaster, we should do what we do well. In conclusion he says, “Look at your interests, talents and skills and pursue excellence – your passion.”(Paul)
