During the Lecture on passion.
Topic: Passion for the vision
Subtopic : Passion
** Definition
I like to use the word passion interchangeably with words like determination, enthusiasm and zeal. Passion is a strong desire that can get you to do amazing things. Passion is an emotion to be acted upon. Note: Passion without action is useless. It yields no worthwhile results. Nothing grows where there is no passion . Passion without vision is disaster. Passion can push you through difficult times because you don't care what it takes to become better. We all have the ability to create whatever kind of life we want. When you're passionate about a desired goal the price to get it will not be a big deal. Passionate men don't know obstacles!
** The Need For Passion If We Must Achieve Our Dreams
*
Your 'Passion ' determines your achievement in life. We can see a clear example of that from the life of Thomas Alva Edison. Nothing grows where there is no passion. For example, a farmer who plants rice and abandon it, will end up harvesting weed. Why? Because he was not passionate about his farm. Meanwhile you all will agree with me, that a farmer who plants rice in his farm and work on it diligently, will end up having a bountiful harvest of rice produce. Because he was passionate about his/her farm. Note: What you are not passionate about, you despise it!
*
Passion and vision are intertwine. For a vision to be actualized, passion is key. What you are passionate about, the price to get it will not be an issue. Passionate men don't know obstacles. A good example of a passionate man is; Thomas Alva Edison. The way to the promise land is never a play ground.
*
Passion goes along with sacrifice. Anything you're passionate about, you sacrifice for it. Remember, I said 'Passion ' means "a strong feeling for something you love". Some of our parents sacrifice a lot of their resources for us their children to have a bright future. Why do you think they do that? Because they're passionate about us. Some of them won't stop at anything until they meet up our needs. Please celebrate our parents!
*
'Passion ' makes a man step out of his/her comfort zone just to fulfill his desired goal. For example, Our military men. No man will leave his family and go live in a desert or at the boarder for months because of a job he/she isn't passionate about.
*
'Training ' is key for excellence , recognition and acceptances. An untrained man has no value professionally, morally and otherwise. Renowned footballers such as Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo among others, are products of training. If you're not passionate about a thing, you can't train yourself in it. I strongly believe you're all here today as a result of the passion you have in order to develop yourself.
*
You must be willing to pay a price to keep what you have or to obtain what you desire. That can only be done if there is 'Passion '. A first class student with passion for excellence will do anything to maintain the status quo through out his/her days in the university /college. But the moment he/she loses passion for being a first class student, he/she will not longer afford to pay the price it takes to be a first class student and as a result will cease to be a first class student.
*
You must understand the race you're running. Run with a vision! 'Passion ' without knowledge is disaster. When you start running a race, it is expedient you finish strong. That can only be achieved with 'Passion '(Determination is the key to success). Elbert Hubbard said " The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure ( contemptuous treatment) without resentment ". It is not possible to endure for what your aren't passionate about. Example, I can't endure military training because I don't have passion to be a military man.
*
Finally, Dingoli Philip Jr assert "Passion is key, if we must fulfill our dreams. It is the vehicle that conveys us to fulfill our dreams. Without passion, success will be a mere illusion ".
Success is all about passionately pursuing your vision with everything you've got. No matter what people might say and no matter how unlikely the odds, until it burst into fruition. Success isn't by accident but by perseverance.
Dedicated to Lord God Almighty.
