Passion - Terry Fox Run

Day 182 - 818 days to go

Most people think that it is hard work, commitment, determination, perseverance and the like are the most important factors. I will not deny that they are very important but to me they are secondary. I think passion is the single most important factor for us to succeed in pursuing anything in life.

Without passion, we will not be able to work hard, to be committed, to be determined and so on. It is the building block of all other secondary factors. There are many ways to name passion and the most common and popular one is LOVE. Only if we fall in love with someone or something, then only we won't feel tired and everything else is secondary to us. For instance, I dont mind walking one KM under the hot sun to deliver two Terry Fox Run T shirts to my friend for charity, after that walk in the heavy rain with a small umbrella until my whole body was wet. This was coupled with the fact that I missed the fun time with 6 colleagues for a farewell lunch too.

To me, another t shirt sold will contribute to possible saving of life. What is more important than saving life? Of course, what I did was just nothing worth mentioning if compared to what Terry Fox did 31 years ago. However, if everyone care and can contribute a little bit, we will have a much better world.

Happy Events:

  1. Finally, I got my Iphone despite not a white color and not the Iphone 4s.
  2. Started doing renovation for the condo.
  3. Had a good farewell lunch with a bunch of wonderful colleagues.
