Reflection About Passion

Passion maybe something that could be lacked at a point in time, and not cause damage. But losing responsibility can cause your whole world to spiral downwards. Like Paul's life throughout the book. In the beginning everything was fine until he started abandoning his responsibilities for his fascination of being popular. Charlies requests started out small and intensified until finally Paul was criminally charged. All because he followed his passion.

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.

Further, passion has long been known to be a powerful force in humans and it has led to artistic and scientific advances. Passion pushes individuals to not give up in testing new theories, invention or techniques. Insert example of how passion motivated. To illustrate, Tesla faced much opposition nonetheless his passion for his work pushed him to overcome them and to create. Thus, it is passion that sees intellect through to

Passion is defined by the life and death of Jesus Christ. Because He laid down his life for me, I find it my duty to live for Him and through Him. All of my values are rooted in Christ and our relationship. I believe that the community service, leadership, and character of those found in the National Honors

How could they be happy to work here? The cold air of the auditorium quickly changed as we piled in. A lady spoke to us and we all wondered why. She was too young look like a survivor? She didn’t look Jewish? Why did she work here? The energy of her voice bounced off the high ceilings.

Every human has a passion in life. This passion is apart of the structure of our individuality. It leads our decisions in life and helps us overcome the largest of obstacles. In Hidden Figures, we see the theme of passion and its effect in our lives. In addition to Hidden Figures, Callings shows the same theme of passion. Ultimately, Hidden Figures and Callings show us passion is a force that drives our lives, effects our choices, and allows us to overcome the challenges we face.

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.

During the process of planning my interviews, I decided that I needed to choose the interviewees from a location of diversity and I felt that my own college peers would be perfect for the task. The first interviewer I chose was a professor of the college, Jose Hernandez age 42, born and raised in El Salvador. Professor Hernandez had lived in El Salvador until the age of 13 when his parents made the decision to move to the United States to ensure that their children would receive better education and opportunities. Once making it the U.S., he had to learn to read, write, and speak English and has now made it as a successful Spanish Professor at Kennesaw State University. Professor Hernandez and I decided to reserve a time during his office hours to meet. We met around noon and the interview lasted for about forty minutes. From the interviews I had done, I received the most information and personal

In this speech I want to introduce to you my friend, Stefani Ruiz. Starting with her favorite childhood memory, talk about her present self, and finally look into her aspiring future and goals she wishes to achieve.

Caroline, my sister, is the type of person who loves animals and says she wants to save the world. She thinks her jokes are the best, but she’s the only one that laughs. She is always willing to help someone out if they are stuck. She knows how to put a smile on someone's face. Whenever Caroline answers the phone, even if it wakes her from a nap, she always smiles first and then talks. “Because a smile can change any meaning” she always says. She is a 20 year old junior at “UW-Madison for my undergraduate degree in anthropology with certificates in archaeology and classics” (C. Schlinsog, Personal Interview, May 31, 2017). She is very smart, she is taking summer classes so she can graduate early and go on to graduate school. She has a big future ahead of her.

     The three passions that have dictated the direction of my life have been sports, friends and family. My first passion, sports, has guided me through temptations such as drugs and dropping out of school and has kept me on the right track. My second passion, much the same as my first has helped to deflect the many temptations of life. It is my friends who have stuck with me through the ups and downs and it is to them that I owe much of what I am today. My third and strongest passion is my family, and more specifically my father. He brought me up as a single father when my mother wanted nothing to do with me; he fought to give me what he could and it is to him that I owe everything.

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

A wise man once said “Man is only great when he acts from passion.” When you hear the word passion, the first thing that might come to your mind is something related to love, and you’re not entirely wrong. According to Merriam- Webster’s dictionary, passion is defined as a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something or about doing something or a strong feeling (such as anger) that causes you to act in a dangerous way. 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.
