PASSION - LET THE FUEL BURN INSIDE....

I just want to share an experience today. Since one and a half month I had been trying to study hard for the campus drives. But, I couldn't even complete a quarter of the syllabus. 
Unprepared, but lucky enough to clear an aptitude test; I went for my first interview ever.
The first question was about my passion. I told the interviewer that I loved writing and singing. The very next moment he asked me, what did I write yesterday.
And I was mum. I was unprepared and thus did not have any mind-blowing answers. Bluntly, I told him I was preparing for the interview.
And then he said, I see how passionate you are!!
And this was the moment I know I won't get the job!!!

 It cost me that great job (that was a big company indeed) of 5 lakh per annum to learn this simple fact;" you are passionate about the things you can’t live without".


During this phase of life, many of us are being bestowed with free advice like give your hundred percent to studies these few months and then carry with your passion; be it singing, acting, gaming, writing or anything else. 
Take my words instead; the recruiters don’t test your knowledge but your attitude. They look for passionate people, because passion is what keeps one going at times of adversity. If you can take a break for a while, then you are not passionate about it.
Today, it pains to turn back and see how I have left writing.
What am I doing now??Writing,Eh… That’s the best time of my day. And the best part of my life is all the time that I have spent writing. These days, when i am back to writing, I find my studies prospering too. Try it, you surely won't regret it.

 You are grown up, buddy. You too know what eases your soul. Let live your passion, keep the fuel burning inside!!!
