Hunger, Greed, And Passion In Life By Gretchen Rubin

A passion is something that makes you drive forward in life, but not something you want or that you are trying to get. In the novel The Contender by Robert Lipsyte, there is a high school dropout who does not know what he is going to do with his life while everyone around him is either reaching their goals or slowly dying. In The Contender people without a passion seem to die off and it is the same about people with bad passions. The high school dropout, Alfred is very lost and does not know what to do in life. Alfred’s best friend James is also a dropout and later on in the book a drug addict. Major, a drug dealer tries to pull down Alfred, his only passion is drugs and money. In the context of The Contender people with a

Passion is an emotion that one feels is indubitably enjoyable to experience regardless of the circumstances. In all reality, what is a passion? Depending on who is being asked, the answers to that question are undeniably distinct. The definition of a passion could be nothing more than a feeling, but it could also very well be a material object. Helping people has always been a passion of mine; therefore, I have chosen to pursue pediatric nursing as my career.

A passion, by definition, is strong and barely controllable emotion. But in the book, Chad Foster tells us that a passion is something that one greatly likes or desires. He tells us to never underestimate the power of our passion and that life is boring and dull without one. This can help us in the real world because we can turn our passions into jobs, like Elton John and his music, and it gives us something to do in our free time that

Every single person on this earth has a passion. No, I am not talking about fruit. I am talking about is something that can put a person on top of the world or put a 40 ton wrench right in the center of a person’s gut. Passion.

Mark Twain once said, “The two most important days in your life are the day that you are born and the day you find out why.” Everyone has their own priorities in life. Each person finding his or her own passion in order to reach one’s full potential. Regardless of whether it is a occupational, spiritual, or emotional goal, everyone should find that aspect in his or her life that sets fire to their soul so much that he or she is willing to do absolutely anything in order to achieve it.

What is Passion? Passion is “an intense desire or enthusiasm for something” (Oxford English Dictionary). This implies that passion motivates you in do something (such as activities) that you will enjoy and feel confidence about it. For instance, in “The Mother of All Questions”, by Rebecca Solnit, she says “I set out to write books, to be surrounded by generous, brilliant people, and to have great adventures” (6). Solnit is trying to show that passion is love for what you do. Consequently, each individual has its own view of passion -- that include Rebecca Solnit’s essay “The Mother of all Questions”, Malcolm Gladwell’s, Outliers, an interviewee and myself. In this essay we will look to find how passion plays in our thoughts about work.

“The Noblest Art is that of making others happy” is a quote by P.T. Barnum from the new movie The Greatest Showman that reflects my idea of The American Dream; that making others happy will ultimately be rewarded with your own happiness. By pursuing a career that will involve making others happy, I can live a full happy life. Across my Junior year of high school, I have learned about the value of happiness by reading many differing texts. Novels like The Great Gatsby, as well as articles focusing on happiness, have provided me with a new idea of what happiness truly is, and have challenged me to make decisions on what I want to do as a career. By reading multiple sources connected to the American Dream, I have discovered that happiness is

Passion is required to keep the drive and the focus. No, you can't have it all the time, but knowing what truly inspires you and being able to return to it in a moment is the sign of a real professional. For some, passion might appear as attunement - or staying connected with others. Patience means being able to wait for the timing to be right - we all know what a key ingredient that is in any successful accomplishment. Remain alert and check out opportunities, work on new presentation skills or feed your passion, those who practice will succeed.

The Oxford Dictionary defines “passion” as a strong emotion or strong love for something. Well then, I would say I am passionate about sports. To turn a passion into a career you must take certain steps in education and to develop special skills that are needed.

Passion gives you a goal or a dream to chase after too. Another quote I hear pretty often is “Have Outstanding Passion Every Day!” - CollegeTrack. We strive with outstanding passion in whatever we do, whether is completing a homework assignment, doing a sport, club activities, and just in life in general. Having this passion gives you something to look forward to every day instead of mindlessly getting up to go to school or work to do the same generic tasks everyday. Everyday is a new day, which means there are new challenges, by having a passion it gives you the motivation, the excitement to conquer new challenges. Think of it as Candy Crush, you worked on a single level for days and you finally passed that level, the sense of accomplishment encourages you to pass the next level and so forth. The kind of people with the most amount of passion are CEO and entrepreneurs because they get to enjoy their creations in their business every day, solve a new problem in their business or create another branch of their franchise. For example, Bart Kwan and Joe Jo of JustKiddingFilms, who are very passionate about film and comedy, combined their two interests and created a YouTube franchise where they dedicate themselves to making comedic videos. Another example would be myself. I am very passionate about happiness, wary of others feelings, tend to know when one is happy or sad, and know how to properly comfort someone. I dedicate my free time to making sure the people around me are

Passion is defined as a strong and barely controllable emotion. Therefore to be passionate about something means that you have completely immersed yourself in that idea or activity. When I talk about volleyball, passion is one of the many words that comes to mind. Volleyball was a significant part of my life, and the closing of that chapter was extremely painful. A huge reason for this, was the fact that I never truly accomplished all that I had envisioned for myself in that area. With that being said, the lack of finality in that aspect has been taxing but ultimately enlightening. Volleyball taught me not only how to be physically strong but mentally aswell, the loss of volleyball enabled me to use that strength and essentially rediscover

All in all, it is a strong feeling, be it happiness, sadness, anger or liberality. You can be passionate about many things such as love, sports, food, or intimacy. However, it can also mean having a strong yearning for something.
