Passion -  what do you mean by  this word….. ardent affection , deep interest , strong liking /desire.

Eg of Passion -   

1. For some of us , cars  are  passion…. 

2. For some of us , keeping our body fit is a passion....

3. For some of us , our day  to  day  work  is a passion -  LUCKY !

- Want to apply all of their skills and all of their energy into their passion.

For  my  daily  walk - Stop , kindly do  not put me in above category #2... 🙂

People who  have seen / worked with me or know me very well,  might graciously put me in category #3👍

Due to the  health  reasons, I force myself a rigorous walking in our neighborhood  for  45 to  50 mins, at least  3 or 4  times a week, even when the temperature outside  is 30°F . I  prefer walking outside than the elliptical at  home. 

I  do invite various Tamil motivational  speakers  virtually  for  my daily  hike...  Suki Sivam, Parveen Sultana, Illangai Jeyaraj....  I  heard an interesting  short story  on passion from  Parveen Sultana. 

                                                         

Happy  to  share the fictitious fable ...

A group  of ants and a grass hopper were  neighbors…. As we all  know the characteristics of the ant – ‘Save for the Rainy days’ … they  worked every day without rest. But our friend grass hopper was a fun loving person, playing his  guitar passionately all day.

The ants warned him - start working and save grains. But the grass hopper thought that it was not  his  cup  of tea…. But continued to  play  his  instrument….

As he was doing this,  he noticed  the ant's  characteristic. So he called the queen of ants for a discussion.

Grass hopper said  "As  I  play  my  guitar , I see  your ants are gathering more grains than when I  am NOT  playing the guitar. So  in some way I  am helping your  team to  produce more, so  you  have to  pay me , when I  am playing and your team is working…." 

Grass hopper managed to negotiate  a deal  with the queen -  so  he continues with his passion of playing the guitar and also  get paid by  the ants.

The best feeling in the world is getting paid to do , for what you love….  

Manage to  make your  Job as  a passion….. or find one...

Skills are cheap , but Passion is PRICELESS.
