The only way to do great work
is to love what you do. If you
haven't found it yet, keep
looking. Don't settle. As with
all matters of the heart, you
will know it when you find it.

 I believe true success is
achieved when people find
their 
passion.Because then
they will work harder, fight
longer, and reach higher
for their success.

Read chapter 1(The Importance of Passion) in
Discover & Pursue Your PASSION!  This chapter
cites various studies and sources that indicate
the importance of people pursuing a passion
in their personal, workplace and business lives.
Consider this question ... "Why it is important
for you to find and and do what you love?"



Dr. Ken Robinson is one of the leading authorities on creativity, human potential and life passion. Below is an audio recording ​and two videos in which he shares several powerful insights on the importance of finding and pursuing your passion. I will be reviewing them this evening. So if you have the time, listen to the interview, watch the videos and then consider the following questions:

1. What ideas were new to you?
2. What ideas were most interesting to you?

3. What ideas are most inspiring or motivating for you?
