Your passion isn’t lost,
it just needs your attention.

Nothing is as important as passion.
No mater what you want to do with
your life, be passionate.
The world doesn’t need any more
grey.

On the other hand, we can’t get
enough color.
Mediocrity is nobody’s goal, and
perfection shouldn’t be either.
We’ll never be perfect.

But remember these three P’s:
Passion + Persistence = Possibility

They must know how to link apparently
unconnected elements to create something new.
People who hope to thrive in the Conceptual Age must
understand the connection between diverse, and
seemingly separate disciplines.
-- Daniel Pink in AWhole New Mind

Difﬁculty may have
signaled that it was
not their interest
after all.

“Urging people to ﬁnd
their passion may lead
them to put all their
eggs in one basket but
then to drop that
basket when it becomes
difﬁcult to carry.”

“It is important for young people to know
