Follow your passion

I am in uk right now and one of the most useful thing that I have
observed and learnt here is that people here are passionate about
something in their life.

Just an hour back met a 48 year old guy, who has the passions of
bikes. He literally loves anything on two wheels. He came to our house
and picked up a bike that needs repair. He came driving 10 miles just
to get that bike and repair it for free on the coming weekend.

I know a friends mentor who is passionate about hot air ballons, and
sky diving. He is 50+ and still pursues his hobby passionately.

A guy from office is passionate about riding bikes and he drives
Hardley davidson to work. Recently he broke his arm while setting a
new speed record of 150 mph. Really impressive an brave attempt.


So what's the takeaway in all this. Look at yourself and work on your
passion. Even if you have a day job that isn't interesting step up and
utiize your non office hours. Do something useful on things that you
really like.

For these people the day job don't end their life but it begins after
office when they start on their passion. So if your day job doesn't
reflect you, create that reflection in the hours after office. Don't
let time an execue, follow your passion.
