Passion... is a big word for a guy like me. though I thought I had lots of it in me, but I somehow start to doubt my capacity of containing them. And through my observation, there's a whole lot of people who are unaware of their inability to capture any means of interest that some may refer it to hobby, but I would define it as passion. Because unlike hobby, passion is something that you like doing and you'll spend an amount effort and time in devotion and people mostly don't get why someone would want to do so. For this, again because of passion, we don't give shit. Because we do what we do for only we can define the fullness of its reward.
So..let's talk about passion. Too big of a subject? alright, we'll narrow it a little bit, why do we need passion? one..two..three...go!
1. To Impress Girls
This may surprise some of typical man out there who's life is a repetition of process which mostly involves their day jobs that they don't even seems to like. Tips: these kind of men are the ones who brag about their job and how suck it is to do it everyday and get paid so little to do it. When asked 'Why don't you find another job, then?', they'd go silent and then they'll realize it's not the job, it's them.
Anyhow, back to impressing girls. Current phenomenon of eve's descendants who's living in a nice metropolitan city where malls mushrooms and flea markets are aplenty, there's too many places to go shopping and they thank God for it but somehow would like to explore other things if they have the chance to. So they wait, for a knight in an armor-shining or rusty doesn't matter- to take them explore the worlds they have not yet discover, someone to tell them stories of places they've never been to, experiences that would rush their blood to their head as if they were there even though only imagination can put them in the destination...They want someone fun, who would guide them to the path of unknown. If you have nothing to tell them or share with them instead of the process involved in getting your paycheck, let me help you understand how they would define you in one word.... "Boring". Can you blame them? I'm sure you understand.
2. Makes you smell 'Day' in the morning
What's the first thing came to your mind every time you wake up in the morning? Tough question, huh? It's ok, I'll give you some options that may help you refresh your memories:
- Shit, I'm late to work
- Shit, it's morning already?
- Do i have to wake up?
- This feels like yesterday
- Ok, I'm up, now what?
So, which one is yours?
You see, if your life revolves around your job, and you hate your job, then in simple algebra, you hate your life. Because you have nothing interesting going on, you basically will feel hopeless, no value, lost of purpose and would ask yourself, 'why the f**k are you here'.
If you hate your job, find a new one, the one that you can enjoy even if it's sucking most of your day and will consistently doing so for a whole lot of your life time. If you can't find one, keep looking.
3. Maintain Sanity
It's a demanding world, this life. Demanding enough to make you go crazy. Having a secondary objective is life keeps the primary ones on track. No one can devote his/her full attention on one thing only. We all need distraction once in a while to better view what we really want. No? You can argue all you want, I'm firm on this one.
4. The lists goes on...
the list can go on with so many personal reason. but I choose not to waste anymore of my time educating the masses the importance of passion in lighting up one's life. lalalalala
