I love passion. People need to get more passionate more often. Steve Browne is an excellent example of someone who is loud, proud and passionate (see his excellent post from yesterday ) about HR.
I love to see this kind of passion from people. Maybe I’m biased here because I tend to run passionate myself: I’m either into it or not. Here is my question: When did it become such a bad thing to let people know how you feel?
I think people are afraid to express passion because passionate people are stereotypically portrayed as crazy…ever see Amadeus? Or any other film based on an “Artiste”?
When people are passionate, they are critical, they have a lot of opinions, and they are relentless perfectionists. And you know what? That isn’t a bad thing.
People love Apple products, why? Because they were designed by an entire company that is passionate about design and function. That means they have a whole lot of perfectionists at their company…and oh yea they create some amazing products.
So let’s out ourselves and our passions. Passionate people don’t stop at “No.” Passionate people are perfectionists. Passionate people see opportunities everywhere. Passionate people work hard. Passionate people do not stop at anything on their way to achievement.
I bet on passion any day.
