Passion or Profession?? Well both!!!

The so called modern world loves new innovation, supports creativity, appreciates discovery, and respects talents. However to innovate, to be creative, to discover, to be that change. That person has to have some passion over what he wants to be or what he wishes to do.

Ever wondered??

Why not everyone successful?

Why does people sacrifices a lot of things, struggles much to become successful?

Why it is often people confuses between passion and profession??

Are these two words opposite to each other?? just like

Good-Bad

Tall-Short

Passion-Profession

Lol.. These must be actually carried together. But certainly not everyone gets an opportunity to work for what they love. So they gets used to the job they do and stops trying things to achieve that job they love to do.

Why?

Well consider this case!

A guy wants to be a dancer and he wishes to join a modern ballet academy. Well everyone knows about Indian parents..pushes him into engineering. What’s next?

Ok. He graduates as a well qualified engineer and works for a company that can pay him 2000 dollars a month.

Does these 2000 dollars mean that he is successful?

Even though he becomes successful with his engineering profession will he be actually satisfied with what he has achieved? A very fine day you go meet that successful engineer and ask him..

“What you wanted to be?”

He’ll say I wanted to be a dancer but due to my situation and circumstances I ended up as an engineer but I worked hard that I’m a successful engineer who takes home 2000 USD every month.

Ask him another question..

Do you consider that you are successful?

His reply will be. Nope I wanted to be a dancer which never happened. I’m successful in the profession i do. But for this success I’ve sacrificed my passion.

Give him a scale of one to ten… tell him to mark his satisfaction level for the success he has today

You know it well that he won’t give himself a grade more than a five.

it’s time to ask yourself..

Profession or Passion?

You may say i m gona take my passion as my career despite my family situation or financial background. But when it comes to reality you can’t really say that you will be successful with your passion too because there will be hundreds of people who will be there as your competitors and factually your father’s pocket will not be big enough to pay for your passion.

Sooner you’ll give up complaining that this world doesn’t respect talent. It asks for money.. It asks for recommendation.. You’ll always give a very good reason “my background couldn’t support me”!!

End of the day, you will be called a failure.

Wondering?? What is this guy trying to say??

Well am here to say you that despite your loads of syllabus, tons of works, financial troubles, family problems, you can still pursue your passion without having to give up anything..

People say You must choose one.. Either go with passion or go with your profession.

I m totally against such wonderful choose the best answer principle..

Let me ask you a simple question?

Have you ever thought.. I ll take up a profession that supports to pursue my passion. Once I m very confident that I’m a pro with what I have been pursuing all these days I l drop my job  and take up my passion as profession! Sounds great right?

Ha ha i can predict your next question..

Dear blogger!! From where do i find time to pursue my passion when i’m stuck up with my stressful job..

I’m gonna say you “don’t search for time”.. You have got the same 24 hours what barrack obama, Narendra Modi, Sachin Tendulkar, A farmer, a gate keeper, a sales person has got.

Well do you think time can show partiality for these people..?

My simple answer

You have got a mighty 24 hours..!! Make use of the wonderful time..

Lol.. anyways 24 hours is for all however it’s up to you that how you manage the given time.

So here’s a simple way I just figured out to manage your profession and passion without having to sacrifice one for the other.You know that you have got 24 hours a day..Why not we divide your day into 3 cycles of 8 hours each..

Name your first cyle: Profession

Let’s say ” Team Leader in a Software firm”

You are supposed to work not more than 8 hrs for an mnc.

Try to push your works little harder and finish of all your office work 30 minutes in prior to the day’s deadline.

Be faithful to your job not your boss.

Never say excuses.

Never think there is a tomorrow.

Name your last cycle: Sleep/Rest

Like you know every man needs at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep everyday to stay healthy. Ok you call yourself a so called most passionate musician in the world who sacrifices his sleep everyday to practice with the instruments.. What’s the point?? You are losing your health. It may affect your profession too. Very soon your boss will call you over the intercom and say “You’re fired”

You end up a loser again.. Focusing too much on passion and lose what you have got as a backup that supports you to pursue your passion.

Fortunately people who strive to be successful don’t usually come from a silver spoon background. So you need a financial support for getting your passion to the next level.

Its going to be your profession which will help you to pursue your passion and can make you a pro from a beginner.

Never compromise your sleep for passion or profession.

The remaining 8 hours is all for yourself. And nobody can take that away from you.

Ok..!

Lets Consider..

You have to do your daily chores. Take 1 hour..

You have your pending office works. Take 30 mins..

You need to spend time with your family and loved ones. Take 1 Hour

You need to be online/ social networking or skype with your girl friend? Take another 30 mins

You have a travel of 30 kms everyday. Take another one hour.

You have something else more important to do than what has mentioned above.. Take One more hour..

5 hours gone…

You still have 3 hours left..

Use this wonderful 3 hrs for pursuing your passion..

You will soon understand that passion or profession are brothers and they don’t have to fight against each other.

For 365 days if you can invest 3 hours. You have spent 1095 hours a year for your passion and definitely in a year or two you’ll say “ My passion is my profession now” and “my past job helped me to be here”.

Brother.. Its your time..

Take a piece of paper..

Schedule your 3 cycles..

And Let your passion meet profession.

If you have spent your time reading till here.. I can definitely say you have understood the importance of time and right now you will be thinking when to schedule your 3 hrs of passion..

May be “ 6 to 9” everyday..!!

Don’t ask me anyways will this really work??

Well I’d say..I’m practicing too.. But i’ve figured a way for the brothers- “passion and profession” to get along..

One love
