Passion!
Does this word ring a bell in your brains? It should, if you are serious about
your life. Passion is the magic key to success if you want to make it big in
life, so teach the examples of all great achievers of the world. Be passionate
about what you do, of course, with due respect for fellow human beings, and
success will follow.

Alison Swift who at the young age of ten began performing around her hometown,
at festivals, fairs etc. was passionate about music. She worked with
determination and dedication and within two years, she began to write songs as
well. She would practise Guitar for hours till her fingers almost bled. So much
so at the age of 18 she was nominated for the Grammy Awards for Best New Artist
in 2008. The great power of passion!

Bolt, the Jamaican athlete who keeps breaking his own records, is yet another
living legend who proves how passionate dedication to one’s dream can bring
success after success in life.
On
August 16, 2004, The Hindu reported the
story of N Krishnan, a gold medalist with a BSc (Hon) in Catering Technology
and a trained five-star restaurant chef in Bangalore. Leaving behind all
comforts and securities of a high earning job, he chose to follow his heart’s passion
– to serve the destitute and mentally challenged. N. Krishnan, the founder of Akshaya Trust travels around 110 kilometres

If
India is cruising ahead towards scientific, economic and techonlogical progress
today, it is because of the countless people who have passionately worked for
India’s progress. This includes our beloved teachers because it is they who have
ignited all young minds and introduced them to the world of knowledge and wisdom
with passion and dedication.
Swift,
Bolt, Krishnan and very many others you and I know, could achieve what they
dreamt about only because they were passionate about it. Difficulties and
obstacles in their life were mere stepping stones for greater successes.
Nothing can stop you from success if the flame of passion entrenched in you is
kindled every day. Be passionate and taste success!
