While I was visiting my sponsor on Monday, the entire Senior Project Class was having somewhat a mini life session with an artist named Anthony Wellington. Although I missed this honor, I was told some inspiring information about Mr. Wellington and his beliefs. For example, Ms. Money told me about his theory of passion and his definition of it. Mr. Wellington said that if God were to come down and tell you that you would not get paid for your job, the urge to still do it without pay somewhat classifies as passion. I found this to be something that can be proven true simply because some people only do their job to get a pay check at the end of the week. But, if someone can do a job and not worry about the pay I can tell that they truly love and have a passion for their work. A person that I thought of when I heard this was Mrs. Pricilla, the founder of the Garden Project. I know that the Garden Project is a program funded by donations and money out of Mrs. Pricilla’s pocket. I’m sure that Mrs. Pricilla doesn’t look for a material compensation for helping the women at the Garden Project but, a spiritual one instead. I believe that Mr. Wellington’s life lesson and Mrs. Pricilla’s actual life style relate in more ways than one.
I will say that passion is the MOST important part of my job. While I would not work for free (since I have bills to pay) having a job that you do not find passion in has to be discouraging. People that hate going to work everyday must have no passion for their work. I am glad I NEVER feel that way. Your goal Naleah: Find a career that brings out the passion in you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Moreland. I need the money for now, because of the many senior year expenses, but if my boss were to tell me that she could no longer pay me for my work, I would still go to the day care three days a week. I'm really passionate about working with children and could honestly spend the rest of my life doing this.
