‘Passion’ propels us to reach greater heights 

The rich and the famous, the movers and shakers are not necessarily high school toppers. College degrees and high IQ are no longer the major drivers of success. Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison were actually high school drop-outs.

When a group of two hundred executives of top performing companies were asked what makes a person successful, eighty per cent listed passion as the most important quality, more important than skill, more important than training, even more important than experience.

Steve Goodier said, before water can produce enough steam to power an engine, it must boil. The steam engine won't move a train an inch until the steam gauge registers 212 degrees. Likewise, a person without ‘passion’ cannot move the machinery of life with lukewarm water.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said “Nothing great was ever achieved without Passion”. Similar sentiments were expressed by Henry Ford when he said: “Passion is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait, the grip in your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.”

‘Passion’ propels us to greater heights and is more important than all other ingredients of success. Combining our ‘passion’ with other attributes like vision, hard work and determination helps us to achieve our heart's desires and make our life meaningful,

Successful people are passionate about what they do. Their greatest secret for success is a burning desire, enthusiasm and ‘passion’.

As said by A.B.Zu Tavern, “Good work is never done in cold blood, heat is needed to forge anything. Every great achievement is the story of a flaming heart.”

You may have skill, training and experience. You may also be working hard. But if you combine ‘passion’ with these, you will be truly unstoppable.

Wishing you a great Day.
