Personally I loved this week’s blog post because I feel like passion is such a great motivator. This brings to mind a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.”
I feel like this statement is true because without passion in our subjects it would be so hard to achieve anything. Although I still think being well rounded is important, all of the big breakthroughs in any area come from people who are passionate about the subject. This is exactly how the Wright brothers were able to fly despite only owning a bicycle repair shop. Passion has to be our motivation or we will not be as successful as we could be. This is also why most people who finish college and enjoy work are the people who chose a major they enjoyed. How does the saying go? You never have to work a day in your life if you enjoy what you do. Passion is how we enjoy what we do.
I also think this is why there are so many ways for us to be passionate. Every person from class was able to list different things they were passionate about. This not only creates diversity, but it also allows the world to grow in every area. This is why we are the ones changing the world for future generations. They are benefiting from the products of our passions.
