Train Ride

Great things never come easy. Success is synonymous with having belief, sacrifice and hardwork. Ask any successful people and they're bound to tell you the same thing. I know of many who are earning substantial amount as a financial analyst or as a manager at a financial institution but all of them shared that they do not have any personal satisfaction from working. That was one of the challenges I personally faced right after graduation and landing that first job.

Give anybody a million dollar and I will bet my bottom dollar, that 99% of the population will certainly leave their job and chase their passion or dreams; be a baker, open a cafe, be a musician or open a recording company. The 1% that still remains will still remain working at the bank. I mean, we still need to pay somebody to take care of our fortunes, don't we?

That aside, CEO or Zappos.com even mentioned that if one works hard towards something that he or she is good at, they will travel far in life. Get ready for the differentiating factor that seperates the successful ones from the less successful ones.

The differentiating factors lie in my first paragraph. Everybody LOVES to cook or play music but what seperates Limpbizkit from other bands is the amount of hardwork and sacrifice that they had put in that propelled them to the world stage. Jamie Oliver works hard at the kitchen and have faith that through cooking, he can create a movement towards delivering his message; to cook good, healthy food to everybody.

Bottomline, if you are so passionate about something, chase them and when you work hard towards it, the money will come in naturally. Remember, do really well in something that you are passionate about and the payoff will be something unimaginable. Bono and I can sing the same song but nobody is going to pick me over him to perform at the VMA because of the pure fact is that he is Bono.
