On Passion

Greeks did not write obituaries. They always asked the question - Whether the guy had passion?

When i die, i want the answer to be a resounding yes.

Passion, a strong sense of emotion.

The emotion you feel when you see your vision being realized in front of your eyes.

The emotion you feel when you do unimaginable things for someone special.

The emotion which makes you sing a soulful song.

The emotion which makes you run the last hundred metres extra fast, even though your body has no energy left.

The emotion which makes you speak your heart out to a million people, sometimes against all odds.

The emotion you feel when you puff out the smoke, thinking you finally get it.

.....

We in the course of our lives, give up on 'passion' and opt for a staid existence. Which is understandable as passion is the driving force of creative destruction. It is the anti-thesis of an organized life. But whats a life which does not get excited.

There should be things about which one should be passionate ... love, family, friends, work..

And it is not momentary flash in the pan passion i am talking about. People who were passionate for long periods were responsible for the forward surge of mankind.

Gekko said - 'Greed, for lack of a better word, is good'.. He missed 'passion'.

As part of human race, we owe it to ourselves to live a life of passion!!
