The Power of Passion
Successful people win because they love what they do. All of them have a very strong desire to succeed. They have passion for their field, their business.
Passion is the single fastest way to spur yourself to massive success. It is something you love. Something you’re excited about. Something you get up early to work on or to stay up late.
Turning a Passion Into a Business
Great business requires heart and dedication. If you think your passion or hobby has potential as a business, ask yourself, “Is this something I really enjoy doing and can sustain? What is it about my offerings that are unique or hard to find? Is this something people really want? How could I find it out?”
The Value of Passion for Business
The value of passion for business has been widely recognized. Passion is key to you succeeding. Many innovation centers, companies large and small have started shifting their management practices to accommodate or support knowledge work and help their people express passion of their own.

On June 12th 2005, Steve Jobs gave the commencement address at Stanford University. Below are a few clips from his powerful speech.
“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love
This is clearly show how much passion you have to have in order to succeed in what you are doing. Passion drives you even though you might be only person envisioning your success. But as people see you on the way to achieving your dreams, they will be interested in what you are doing and you get your chance to share with them. You get free publicity also!
If your passion for success in your life is strong, you will succeed. Even if its just saving half of your daily allowance to buy a PSP, if you are passionate about it, you will succeed. Remember this, NO SACRIFICE, NO VICTORY. To add on, passion will spread fast. People around you will catch it. “Set me on fire and the world will come see me burn”
