Working and Passion

A friend told me that he has a 3 years plan to consider his current job - whether by the end of his 3rd year, he should remain or quit his job.

I thought to myself, "why need a 3 years plan to consider whether this job suit you a not. If you want to do it, do it well. If not, don't do." To me, a 3 years plan is for individual goal in life for perseverance and growth. To consider whether to remain or leave the job, you will not commit fully and of cos' you will not enjoy what you do at work.

When is the last time we pause and say to someone, 'Here lived xxx who did his job well.'

Do we love our job? Do we even like it? Do you look forward to Monday morning? If you are always looking forward to weekends person you are missing something really important in your work life - passion. Unfortunately, many people don't enjoy their work. What's worse is that they have no expectation that they should. Work is often seen as the means to an end. You work so you can pay your bills.

Being passionate it's looking forward to going to work and it's time flying by when you're there. It is very different from being swamped with work or were so intent that you didn't notice the time.

Feeling passionate about your job is not enough, you have to act passionate too - to be really passionate. Your energy can lift all of the people at work. Even if it doesn't, you will feel better knowing you are doing something to advance in what you believe.

Its not necessary that we need the 'environment' or the boss’ attitude to drive us or put us down. A person passionate at job can be consistent in his job by his own drive. Even in bad situation, he continues to work with the same vigor or more.

Sharpen our skills consistently and being adept at our job can help us greatly.

Find something you love to do and you never have to work a day in your life. Remember, work is to discover your world and with all your heart in it.
