Passion is truly fantastico

Many of us have no answer when we're asked what we love to do. Yet we hate and complain about our job or the course we're in – that’s often a sign that we are not doing what we love!

To be able to have a passion is truly fantastico! Passion is a very strong feeling about something; enthusiasm that compels you to keep at it. Some people really identify themselves with their passions. It is a feeling of intense love and desire for more of something. It's the thing that you work towards with no complaint. It's the answer to why you're alive at all. Without passion, we'd all be dead - with no drive or zeal to live at all.

Passion is what some people live for. When a person talks about his passion, his eyes sparkle with intensity like never before. That's the time when they're the most attractive! We often have heard of passion mostly in the context of love for another person, but passion when it's meant for an art is equally enthralling as well.

Some of the world's greatest discoveries and inventions have taken place because the people behind them were very passionate about their work. Albert Einstein was intensely passionate about physics. Charles Darwin was intensely passionate about the workings of nature. Sachin Tendulkar played cricket with enormous passion of the game in his heart.

When people work for their passion, and not just for their boss, they are psychology satisfied and happy; they are less irritable and stressed out. These are the people that are truly successful in their career, and rich, too. Though they aren't as much concerned about the money and fame, they are the ones who have it all. One that works for his passion isn't as much influenced by the opinions of others or by office politics; he does work just for the sake of it. What's more fantastico than simply enjoying the basic nature of the work we're forced to do, day in and day out?

In our country, many of us are forced to give up our passions because of peer pressure or a lack of opportunities. A clear indicator of this is the medal tally that India has at the Olympics every year. One would probably look at it and wonder – does India have a dearth of talent? Are these people not competent enough in sports? The answer is no, most of the talented sportsmen are busy studying engineering! We, as a country, do not give ample opportunities to our sportsmen to be able to confidently pursue their passions without fear of being in an unstable job or not earning enough to maintain a basic standard of living. Once given enough scope and facilities, there is nothing that can stop us – a young, passionate population of over a billion – from being the best in the world.
