Passions
There was a time when life used to move in phases. It began from education and learning, then graduated to work and then the retirement phase weighed in. For many, this still is the 'protocol of life'.
My philosophy is unconventional though.
I believe that learning and education must NEVER stop. I'm a learning machine. From latest knowledge in my industry to new areas that entice me such as new languages, music instruments and cultures.... I'm always learning something. Movies and TV soaps are lots of story plots to analyse, meeting with friends turn into personal interviews and even a simple walk in the garden means constantly observing the surroundings and learning about life.
Similarly work or professional life does not have to be 60 hour work weeks of doing things you hate. 80% of people dread Monday or any morning because they work for 'paychecks' only.
I believe that my work is my passion and I failed at trying to work for just paychecks. I couldn't fake it even if I tried. I genuinely enjoy working with people on innovative fresh ideas and finding new ways of solving old problems.
This is why there are a number of things I practice as passion that largely include:
-
Authoring books
-
Public speaking
-
Corporate Training
-
Campaigning
-
Freelance writing and
-
Volunteering.
