I read a blog (manifesto) by Rajesh Setty recently on "how to distinguish yoursel" and he mentioned that people admire those who pursue things with a passion.
I looked back at my own life and realized there were things I pursued with a passion but I didn't pursue them passionately enough it seems...they were more like passionate flings...or passionate one night stands.
Let me see:
- there was my passion for aquatic fish---I even had a fish pond built!
- there was my Marvel Comics collection ---which unfortunately my mom burnt!
- there was my MAD magazine collection---which I still did until recently when the stuff they started writing wasn't funny anymore (most of the MAD artists have gone.)
- there was my origami hobby---which I'm still interested in but can't get myself to doing.
- there was my solo guitar playing (& recently Blues and Lead guitar)---which has died down.
- there was my interest in photography---which I still have now but not with such degree of intensity.
- there was my attempt at being more than your average magician---which I didn't pursue much after spending a lot on magic toys!
- there was my interest in juggling--which I stopped after succeeding in juggling 3 balls---the basic move!
- there was my interest in paper sculpture & origamic architecture---which I've never continued doing even though I still have the tools for doing it!
-I'm now interested in pursuing a business in farming and perhaps making a difference in sustainability efforts
-I'm also keen on getting my webcomics continuing online.
Obviously,what I need to do is focus my passion on something so that I become the best at it!
