I had an AP art teacher flip out on my class a few years ago when most people didn’t do their work. She told us, “If you don’t draw or paint in a day and you don’t feel like something is, ‘wrong’, don’t get into this field, you have to need to do this. Do yourself a favor, leave now, you will get laughed at in art, school, pay a lot of money and feel terrible.” Whenever I talk about passion with people, I explain that this has been my greatest barometer.

I used to be able to edit photos and get lost for hours at a time, then I lost the spark. That was one of the most difficult things for me to experience, how the heck do you lose a passion? I wound up getting into film, but I wasn’t sure.

Nowadays, I want to help people communicate. After being a crisis counselor and a youth worker for a few years, I’ve realized people have a hard time listening. I don’t really know if this is a passion, but I feel its a service that needs to take place, that it will benefit people long after they see me.

Either that or becoming an ESL teacher.

My passion is my creativity I felt it when I was in the womb thanks to gods plan for my life. If you find spirits in life no human on earth can stop you. The key to success is the ability of not being able to stop……………..learning how not to stop………..will stop others from stoping you…………….think deep.

Hi I’m a 17 year old boy living in NZ, I want to be a game designer but apparently you need physics and maths for it. I love maths and ICT but I found so physics boring, so boring I have the urge to fell asleep for every physics class I have. Is there anyway to help motivate me?

Stumbled upon this article. It put a smile on my face. My passions range from crunching leaves and smelling wet oil paint to finding out what makes each person tick.

Passion is one key point to have a more fulfilling time while making money. Later,you will find it a chore if what youâ€™re doing is not your passion.

Still working on the site… progress has been slowed by the Pan Pan road trip. Posts are going up regularly on Gadling.com, and if you subscribe to our Youtube or Flickr you’ll see stuff before it goes up anywhere else.

I know it’s annoying to wait, though. Sorry about that.

Excellent post! Please start trying to be a polyphasic sleeper again, so we can get more posts from you :)

(At the moment I’m only really excited about three blogs – yours, life nomadic and four hour workweek).
