Passions are things where you<BR/>put in your energy and where your creativity is at its high. When you have your passions as a<BR/>profession, your creativity is under pressure due to the burdens of expectations. This is <BR/>where it gets frustrating. Could be a reason... <BR/><BR/>Once you are able to have an analysis of finding out why, probably passions can still be profession :-)<BR/><BR/>so how about having an analysis of the fact thoroughly..<BR/><BR/>Anyway, we will discuss in detail...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014181319363389075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970133017659550681.post-58785021705470513622007-12-13T23:39:00.000+05:302007-12-13T23:39:00.000+05:30Dilbert's statementIf your work was interesting, w...Dilbert's statement<BR/><BR/>If your work was interesting, why would they pay you to do it<BR/><BR/>But seriously the moment i start feeling bored about my work, i pack my bag and go elsewhereodysseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04788146432113642186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970133017659550681.post-8550663553202658822007-11-24T10:17:00.000+05:302007-11-24T10:17:00.000+05:30We as indians don't pursue passion as profession.....We as indians don't pursue passion as profession... For example,In the u.s ppl don't go to engg school just because 1000 others are joining engg school. they do what they are passionate about.. let it be joining the military or arts or science... just that we are brought up in an environment where we think that if we don't follow the so called "money making" curriculum we are screwed!! I followed the same boat.. yeah i am making money but am i satisfied? do i feel complete/accomplished? No... <BR/><BR/>Hats off to the people in the western world where they allow the kids to pursue their passion let it be play basketball to NASA..Vijayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794845477761209640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970133017659550681.post-7171715943011544542007-11-23T23:03:00.000+05:302007-11-23T23:03:00.000+05:30Profession is something you do for living.

For example Jane Austin, who wrote exclusively about love and marriage in her stories never got married. If you are passionate about your profession, may be you can do that better. Other than that, passion is of no useJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793972182774468798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970133017659550681.post-37774457359812926272007-11-15T02:41:00.000+05:302007-11-15T02:41:00.000+05:30Hey Nithya.. really a thought provoking post.. :-)...Hey Nithya.. really a thought provoking post.. :-) Well.. if u ask me U can never be a true professional unless u r really passionate abt what u r doing..:-) n as u mentioned most of the times our passions may not turn out to be our profession..

But as u said, professional means expert and we depend on it for ur bread. And we need to learn the business involved with it too which may not sound interesting to most as we have to go by rules. So it can no longer be a passion (means u do not enjoy doing it).. So it may be upto the individual to pursue his/her passion as profession.<BR/>But we should also know whether we do it jus as a hobby or we are truely passionate...<BR/>What do u think?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719496295938540523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970133017659550681.post-37692132425133977122007-11-13T10:00:00.000+05:302007-11-13T10:00:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719496295938540523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970133017659550681.post-54916274820422413772007-11-13T08:48:00.000+05:302007-11-13T08:48:00.000+05:30is it confessions or confusions?- Shankar.is it confessions or confusions?<BR/><BR/>- Shankar.Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368384799730486570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970133017659550681.post-75573982560231758862007-11-12T08:11:00.000+05:302007-11-12T08:11:00.000+05:30Nee enna solla vara?
