Seriously people, think about it. What's that passion in yourself that you really want. Take away all the commitments or "i must do this if not.." or "i can't, because...". Take away ALL that and be utterly and truthfully honest with yourself. What is it that you have always wanted to do, what was that dream or passion that when you did it or even thinking to do it, that made you smile?
It's sad to see people, living their lives within a "pay-cheque". Of course, there is definitely nothing wrong with that IF AND ONLY IF one enjoys that and makes him/her smile. I've been through the "pay-cheque" life where i just have to eagerly wait for my pay-cheque to be given to be at the end of the month. I lived in fear not knowing when will i be out of a job. Never really liked my job that time but i just had to stick with it.
But seriously, every successful person out there says the same thing. "Follow your heart" or "Find your passion and follow it". Steve Jobs said the same thing and he made Apple one of the richest company in this planet. Hence, there has to be truth behind all these right? But why many don't embrace and nurture it from within and build on it? That's why, there are only a few successful people but many many are just followers and what not, quitters.
According to Robert Kiyosaki, telling your own children to "study hard and get a good job" is the riskiest thing that a parent can tell a child. I second that without a doubt. Remember i mentioned in my posts earlier on, employment rate now has dropped. Look at europe and the US. Just last week, US posted its jobless claims that risen more than expected. So, is a job safe now a days? At current times, there is no such thing as "i'll keep my employees up to their retirement age of 60 or 65". No such thing now. If the company is not doing well, they will definitely axe off people and guess what, it starts from the above average positions like managers. Simply because their pay is high and they are not really doing anything to seriously make the company moving. Hence, its the ones who are on top (basically the owners or share holders of the company) and also the operation levels. Anything in between are axed. So, is a job REALLY safe now? One can climb to become a manager or so on and that time, probably that person has many commitments and is probably at the age of, probably 40 (give and take). At that age, getting another job is going to be much harder and the problem is, that person had been rooted with what he/she had been working. Hence, it's like a dead end for these people.
So with all these, it's really important to follow your passion and never let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Just like what Will Smith told his son in the movie called "The Pursuit of Happyness". It was an excellent movie beyond doubt and i 100% recommend that movie to people who are aspiring to work towards their passion.
