The world falls in love with passionate people

I have always loved the language Urdu and have tried to pick random words and sentences whenever there was an opportunity. At one point in school, I also learnt to write the script. It was quite easy for me to get familiar with Urdu because most of my friends had studied the language in the early years of their schooling. Also, I love poetry, so when I read an Urdu poetry or watch something In Urdu, it stays with me for days, and I start acquiring more and more Urdu words in my vocab.

Lately, I am hooked by a Pakistani series, which took me back to my love for Urdu and made me ask my friend from Pakistan to suggest me some easy Urdu poetry books written in Hindi or English. My interest in the language made her excited, and she said, “I love your passion for Urdu” while I was pleased with the comment I have to be honest, I am anything — hard-working, invested, a curious soul but passionate. I have fleeting wishes and hobbies which come and go, so does my passion for them. The only thing I am passionate about is Music, and the only thing I ever was passionate was Gaming.

Her comment got me thinking what I am passionate about maybe zouk lately? And then my brain brought the picture of some people that I know and will describe as passionate souls, and they are crazy! Trust me I have seen some they are amazing, crazy and out of this world. They do what they love every day, inspire people around them to get passionate, make people who are not able to live their dream feel their passion just by doing what they love every day.

While people I know are not celebrities or famous, I can give the example of people working in art industry people who sing, dance, paint they are crazy, have some weird perks, they would trade their life for their passion. Talk about Beethoven, Picasso, Shakespeare, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Marley, Savitribai Phule, Newton, Novak Djokovic, Arnold Schwarzenegger. These are just a few names from my celebrity knowledge, and the only thing I know about them is that they did not care, they don’t care what world thinks about them, followed their passion and became insanely famous for their love for what they do.

They become an artist of their passion by doing what they love repetitively with no fear of failure or greed for success, and I think that’s the reason the world fell in love with them. Their attitude of taking the risk for things that they love, who wouldn’t fall in love with the soul as stubborn as a stone for their passion? Is there anything more attractive and charming than passion?

Truth to be told the world has always been in love with the crazy, eccentric and passionate people because they make this superficial world a place worth for living. And once you learn to love a passionate soul, you are doomed!
