When Passion is in the game, work becomes a play and earnings become the bye product..
A discussion
with a country head in a world’s leading organisation, rated as one of the best
places to work by job aspirants and also by the employees revealed their key
ingredient for their success.
Successful organisations
strive to perfect the art of recruiting the right people for the right job. The employees carefully handpicked, trained
and placed on respective jobs by successful organisations have to necessarily
possess the following qualities, while Integrity at work is taken for granted:
A) Passion to work in the chosen field,
B) Being a self starter,
C) Pro-active nature and
D) Fire in the belly, a hunger to achieve more,
which are reflected together as a spark they find in the interviewee when they
interact..
Jennifer White in her bestselling book, ‘Work Less, Make More: Stop Working So Hard and Create the Life You Really Want!’ helped thousands of people to lead more fulfilling lives by discovering passions and unlock their their hidden potential to enable them lead more successful and Fulfilling lives!
Imagine what would happen if Sachin Tendulkar
were to focus on acting in movies and advertisements instead of concentrating
on his game of Cricket! His game would take a back seat and earning would also
tumble in due course.
Following one’s passions,not only makes the job
easy as a breeze and a pleasurable affair, buy also the expertise one gains in
being an absolute specialist in a given area, results in the ability being
recognized by the world thus leading to increased earnings as well!
It is indeed
surprising to note that, when you observe the world around, most of the people
land up in their careers not by choice but by sheer chance. Their lives are
shaped by their circumstances and not by the power of their will. Their lives
continue that way and they continue till the end living a life of
dissatisfaction forever trying to escape from the clutches of boredom inflicted
by the drudgery of work which never entertained them.
It is also unfortunate
to see individuals who reach their zenith in the area of their passion, loose
focus , get distracted by the fruits and paraphernalia that surrounds theie
success.
Every individual
is born with an inherent talent which is waiting to be discovered, nurtured and
focussed upon, which seldom happens. This is famously enunciated in an Indian
film by Amir Khan, ‘Taare Zameen Par’ in
which he helps a child discover her true passion and reachup to his potential.
Though it happens in a story, it still has lot of lessons for the entire
humanity and especially the parents who largely shape up the lives of their
children, leading upto their careers.
What
following one’s passions could do to the life of a person, could be studied by
reading the biographies of great achievers like Einstein, Srinivasa Ramanujam,
Billgates, Steve Jobs, Magic Johnson, Amitabh Bachan, Shahrukh Khan, Sunil
Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev and many more who have managed to
overcome insurmountable difficulties and achieve phenomenal success in their
lives..

Figure out

financial success but also a life filled with happiness.
Successful
organizations are good at figuring out what are the areas of work that resonate
with their respective employees, ensure
a match that leads to high levels of productivity resulting in joyous work
places..
