I mean a passion in a certain feasible career, such as fine arts, theatre, or other careers that many have a passion that they don't aspire for in their careers.

Please specify that then before you decide to make a post.

yeah deus as u already said that you are going to come to india in the vacational holiday! nice to here this from you visiting India once in a year, remember its you birth place dont forget it!

himachal pradesh is a snowy place but i i have not visited, i will tour some of the south places in india have not gone to the north India, if time comes i will defnitely visit to the north.

Do u like skiing.... i think its a risky sport is it? flying upto 15,000 feet is a dangerous stunt, if u are not landing properly a problem will arrive either back bone or any other parts gets damage.... its a dangerous sport, that too in snow is very dangerous!

hey deus nice job man! to become a doctor is a one of the good profession.... i like your passion... i want you to help people after finishing the doctors degree... i hope you will do!

It is often possible to find a decent paying job using the skills that you have, but that doesn't mean that you will be happy. Then again, just being passionate about your work doesn't mean you will be happy in the long run either as there are always factors beyond your control that will come into play over time. However, if you find a good alignment between what you are good at and what you are passionate about, you are more likely to excel at your work.

You are more apt to go into work in the morning looking forward to the day, and this means that, after enjoying the day, you simply head home rather than escape from work.

If you don't enjoy what you do, then over time, it is not uncommon for people to end up sabotaging themselves at work. They do things (because they don't care) that eventually cause them to lose their job.

So passion is very very important.

Wow, how times change. I thought the stereotype was fighting the 7th Cavalry and riding round circled wagons.

Passion itself doesn't put food in bellies, but passion paves way for things that do; skill and enthusiasm are a few which don't evade me at the moment.

This is all vague and we've already addressed the fact that not all cases follow that and that almost all cases will have unforeseen factors.

[Uméesha]

Passion is the emotion of our feelings and very strongly about a subject or a person, it is very important in our life and Passion refer to various forms of emotional suffering that we lead in our life... so that not relates not only to the job but also the healthy life!

Yeah, due to immigration and the like, the phrase American Indian can be confused with Indian American. The "doctor" stereotype fits the latter, but (as you noted) doesn't fit the former. I think the currently "politcally correct" way is to call North American indigenous races "Native Americans".

Funny how we're still paying the consequences of a geographic mistake made over 500 years ago.
