The meaning of passion
Today I would like to
highlight the drift about doing something as a volunteer. Not so long time ago
there was only one opionion in my mind about doing something without earning
money for it - lame, lost of precious time etc. like going to football game and
stand 5h stright. However in the past few days I've discovered the very fact
that I enjoy doing something without hesitation and receiving payment, while
not being rich.
I have to
admit, in the past many people were given gifts by me just because - I don't
like having money and while possessing it I prefer spending it on someone else,
naive one can state, that's for sure but this is nice seriously. It has all began from old man trying
to buy way overpriced TV so I guided him to the proper store and gave him an
advice - at the end while walking away he smiled & expressed his
appreciation towards me. Next issue had to do with private English lessons ( I
find my language at high level of difficulty ^,^ ). Since no one called I
decided to help without any charge. Not to mention the peace at which I either
write or explain the task, in addition I love challenging myself so...Anyway,
thanks to it many people were grateful, for I brought forth
various essays, letters or even lent a helping hand with studying loads of
material. Today I went on
first serious job interview. Strangly I wasn't even scared and did not think
much about it at home but just before the entrance. Funny thing: I was employed
there before as manual worker in BZWBK bank, City Bank Handlowy. Some guy I know also got his job thanks to them, for they asked me if there's someone
proper for working as network administrator, so I reccomended him without any
second thought. The company itself has 50 years of tradition in finding and
offering workplaces. It isn't much for someone like me - holding almost master degree but when I saw how bad is their situation: no working
website, dropping scale of companies cooperating with them or even the base of
emplyees there was only thing I could do in this matter - generally speaking improve the
business. The president was delighted by my ideas, skills and offered me
even a lot, as for student, money per hour. At first I was against receiving any
income but finally thought that I can put aside gold and buy my very first ticket to Japan ! So I
will be paid for something I know well & spend time on it few days in the week. Putting
it altogether, there is a hope for good outcome and that matters the most, for
as Mr Danny Choo said: "Life is not about
being financially comfortable - its about living a passion". But I won't
work there for ages - just to improve the quality of their establishment (
remember Dannys 1st Rising Sun employer -case of Nature Japan
- Korean company?) and move on in life so as not to land in the safe zone. I'm so
joyful. Life is great! Here you go, in this short interview is said how passion worked out for a rolemodel of mine.
Cheers.
It's very help me for the another day to inspiration me :D
