Life is Simple

Just align Passion with Potential.

It's me! Image by author.

Every year, when I meet a fresh batch of students, I give them a piece of advice. I tell them, “Find your passion, understand your potential, and ensure they are aligned. Once you are convinced that they are aligned, just feed them with your time and energy. That is all you need to do. Opportunities will eventually appear. Life will be simple”.

Some tend to get opportunistic. As long as they add passion and have potential, they may still become successful.

The best in their business, be it Sachin Tendulkar, Magnus Carlsen, or Warren Buffet, found their passion very early. They knew their potential. They had the conviction to stick to their passion. They gave it time and energy. Eventually, opportunities appeared. They became successful. They did one thing in life. They did it well.

Life is simple.
