Get Passion


Today’s word is passion: as emotion, an intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction.

Notes:
  1. If you listen to business shows and the entrepreneurs they interview, you will note one characteristic they all have about their businesses and what they view makes them successful.  Passion.  They always had passion.

  2. Passion compels its holder to work harder, work smarter, and work longer. It gives a sense of mission, of caring, and of importance. It makes the labor easier, hours shorter, and satisfaction greater. 

  3. Passion is an important component of all success. Do you have passion for what you do?  If no, then consider a switch.

  4. Does passion create success, or does success engender passion?  Maybe a little of both. History shows passion is a quality that perseveres without success.  Yet, a little success surely helps your passion IQ.  On the other hand, success without passion is less certain.

Get passion.

We begin with the basics of behavioral sciences, Section II, and then through the lens of multiple categories and examples, Section III. II.     ...

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty.   This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html).

Mediocrity

 Once of the worst things that can happen to a young person is to be told their mediocre performance is good. For me, I was told the opposite, that my efforts would end me in failure. That was a spur that dug in deep. I would prove him wrong.  And I did.  Do not praise mediocrity, no matter how much it makes you feel good or your target.
