Dear Readers,
Thank you for coming here!
Past week and this week so far has been really busy and stressful.
Despite the busy schedule, I have found some time to keep up my pace with the novel.
I keep getting impressed by the characters.
They try so hard and yet they enjoy what they do.
There are of course setbacks and troubles. But they deal with them calmly, rationally and without hesitation.
While they live their own lives, they keep connected with the people that matter during what little spare time they have.
As they progress through different stages of career and life, they stop and look back and set out again.
They are constantly on their toes. They do not waste time!
They are not perfect, but they are real.
Honestly, I want that kind of life!
The one common thing among all of them, I figured, was passion.
They come from different backgrounds, have different passions and pursue them in very different ways.
One was born in a very poor family and had to take up the burden to feed his 3 brothers and sisters. He wants money and pursues it in whichever way allowed. Making money turns into his instincts and ultimately, he starts to move his focus to gaining status.
One was born with disadvantage with almost no chance to go to university. He wants power and pursues it even on the cost of losing their identify. He is almost over-disciplined with no personal life. He eventually stops to look back and recollect.
One was born with a silver spoon. She wants to be successful in her field with her talents and efforts and refuses help from her families. She finally realizes she is naïve and that achieving the best to be able to help is more important.
One was born physically strong. He wants the best for his village and devotes everything he has to achieving that goal. Again and again, he is disappointed with his fellow villagers who only enjoy the benefits he brings but suspect him at the first sign of adversity. After he recovers from a fatal illness, he now patiently considers what to do next.
…
But it is the passion that drives them forward.
Sometimes, our problems can be solved simply with passion.
Passion leads us forward, ignoring whatever little distractions along the way.
It is fortunate to have a passion that one believes in.
Sign…the ridiculous comments again come to mind:
“I envy those kids who sell their kidneys to buy an iPhone, because they know what they want and are willing to sacrifice for it!”
Till next time!
