I look at all these people who have become something. From politics to business, from Sports to science, in real life or fiction; I see people who have become something had one thing common in them. Do you want to take a minute and make a guess? From Marie Curie to Gandhi, from Steve Jobs to Buddha, everyone had one thing in common. I don’t think in their early days, they had planned of becoming someone renowned. Some of them didn’t even have a goal, didn’t envision what the future would look like for them.
The one common thing they had was that they had fallen in love with ‘something’. This ‘something’ comprised a lot of things: technology, science, space, insects, and what not! We cannot say everyone who had got a passion had become someone renowned but certainly they had lived a life of love and satisfaction. On contrary, many, who did not choose a path of passion, rather followed a path that would be practical/necessary would live their lives just to the purpose they chose. There will be Bread and Wine in these lives but no Sparkle in their eyes.
Passion is good for our eyes, too keep them young while we grow old, to keep them soft when things around us get hard.
