PURSUE WHAT YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT

All of us have those things that we love doing during our leisure or
even official time. It can be a talent, a skill or something we are
always obsessed with.

These things are the kind of stuff that a person can do to its
perfection for a lifetime without even expecting to be paid. It maybe
singing, modelling, swimming, writing, acting, motivational speaking
and the list is endless. Sometimes Brian call them "first love".

The reason why he refers to them as "first love" is because everytime
someone finds himself/herself doing those things without being told
to. The individual is born with them and if they are well exercised,
they can take someone very far.

Unfortunately some of our young people want to get 'quick cash',
therefore they end up 'copying' what successful people have done. In
the long last, they fail and become frustrated in life. "Dont find
someone who is successful and try to emulate his/her passion then call
him/her a mentor" Brian articulates.

A mentor is a person who has the same passion as you are and has made
it in that field. All that one should emulate some of the ways the
mentor has used to accomplish his/her dreams. Don't force yourself to
do what you don't find passion in because eventually you will fail.

Early this year, a friend of mine asked me to advice her on which is
the best course to pursue in the university. I told her the same way
she did her high school exams, is the same way she should choose which
course she want to pursue. Nobody should advice you on your career!

Brian always say You Only Live Once (YOLO), so don't live another
person's life. Also don't pursue career of somebody else. Your passion
is your "first love"!
