How Passion Determines Your Success

Passion is very important to become successful in your vocation. If you are passionate, you can work efficiently. When you are efficient in your work, you will become productive and your output will be really great. When the output is great you will become successful in whatever position you are in. That's the reason most career counselors suggest you approach the career you are passionate about, for instance, you can try for a teaching job only when you are passionate about teaching, if you do not like teaching if you cannot interact with kids if you do not get along with kids very well, you should never try to become a teacher.

If you are doing something you are passionate about, you are very likely to become successful. However, the things you are passionate about should also be something that has commercial value. If you do things that do not have commercial value, you are less likely to make money from your hobbies. In fact, even the education counselor suggests you choose the subject you are passionate about. If you are not passionate you should never pursue science. You should never choose a science subject in college and university just because you see the potential to get a good-paying job when you study science. Passion is very important in everything you do, whether in your professional life or your personal life. However, sometimes passion is not enough to become successful, the niche you choose should also be lucrative and you also need to develop skills in that niche.

Does Passion Guarantee Success

I was passionate about literature. If I had pursued literature, I would not have been able to may my life ends. Therefore, I chose to study something that could make me a lot of money and I could live an easy life. Life is a rate race, you cannot do everything for your personal happiness.

I chose my career for two reasons. I was interested in programming, therefore, I enrolled in a programming course. I also wanted to make a lot of money from my chosen vocation, therefore, I chose to program. I believe you should choose a career for these two reasons. You need money in your life,l, therefore, you need to choose a vocation that will make you a lot of money, you also need to be passionate about the career option you are going to choose because if you are not passionate, you will be unable to make money because you cannot concentrate on the work. You cannot just put a blame on society just because it demands something from you, you need to think we have come this far because of our adaptability.

I know a lot of people who do not have any passion for writing but are good at writing, so they are earning well from writing. I think more than passion, you need to master the language that you have chosen to write and master the craft of writing. I don't think passion is necessary.

Let us be clear, no one does a business just because he is passionate about doing business. If passion was the main reason behind doing a business why do people worry about loss and why do they care so much about profit? Shouldn't they be just happy because they are following their passion for doing a business?

Do You Really Need to Be Passionate About Your Work

In order to make money from something, you need to be passionate about it. Hobbies are the pastime activities that you are passionate about and also bring you joy and pleasure. Interestingly, you can turn your hobby into a business. However, your hobbies need to be bankable, i.e. should have commercial value.

You need to be passionate about your chosen career, if you are not passionate about your career choice, you may not be able to develop the necessary skills and knowledge, and you may not be able to work efficiently. If you do not acquire the necessary skills and knowledge, and if you cannot work efficiently, you will never be able to build a successful career. However, you also need to consider money, you need to see how much money you can generate from your chosen career because after all, you need money in your life, if you do not earn enough you will end up living a miserable life.
