Live with Passion!
"One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested." - E. M. ForsterIt is vital to find out things that you're passionate about. When you are passionate about certain things, you tend to talk about it all the time! A lot of great thing in the world were accomplished by those with great passion. True happiness comes when you do what you're most passionate about.
“We're constantly striving for success, fame and comfort when all we really need to be happy is someone or some thing to be enthusiastic about.” - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” - Oprah Winfrey
"You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing." - Dale Carnegie
“Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do” - Norman Vincent Peale
“A strong passion for any object will ensure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means” - William Hazlitt
“Never underestimate the power of passion.” - Eve Sawyer
"Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself!" - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
I believe that passion must goes with wisdom. Wisdom is not worth acquiring if we could not live with passion. However, if we just live with passion without wisdom, we might end up living foolishly without integrity. So it is very important that we acquire wisdom and live with passion.Have you uncovered your true passion? Well, what one thing you want to do because you love to - not because you have to?
If you are not pursuing your passion, find out what is stopping you and do something about it.
It's time to stop wishing, find out how and start living!

Hi Jesse,
I found your comment at Tom blog. The way Wordpress (we are using blogger) handles comment is a bit confusing. Until the comment is approve (to avoid spam), one might not be able to see it subsequently although it was there immediately after one added the comment.
May you find your good and passionate thing in life!
Thank you.
Best wishes.

"Knowledge of mankind is a knowledge of their passions" Life lived without passions is 'useless'.You are doing a good job.God bless you.
Thanks Surjit for your thoughts.
Indeed, we will tend to acquire more knowledge of those things that we are passionated about.
Let's be passionate with whatever things that can bring goodness to the world.

My Passion at the moment is to try and further Theatre's Embrace of the Internet.
You're right though. If you want stuff to happen, you have to be passionate about it and talk about it.
Theatre's Embrace of the Internet, Theatre's Embrace of the Internet, Theatre's Embrace of the Internet. ;-)
