money as motivating factor

No doubts about it, money is the strongest motivating factor in the world. I mean, of course, passion is as important, but one can be passionate about anything if the moolah is good, right? So why are a lot of people stuck in jobs that don't bring in good moolah? Like teachers for instance. Why they stay on inspite of the little pay is something that is hard to fathom. Is it the love or the passion to teach? Or is it because times are hard and getting a job that pays well is impossible.
Whatever it is just amazes me.

finding one's passion

I only realized now that teaching isn't really my passion. Now after 26 years of teaching I have finally made the discovery which should have happened 20 years ago, that what I'd been doing for the past many years was a mistake. I should have started my new venture a long time ago, but probably everything has a reason. Perhaps the waiting had to happen now when I already have two grown children to back me up in my new television career.


Yup, it's never too late for anyone to pursue a passion. It's what I am doing now and I enjoy every minute of it.

the secret to getting rich

Somebody at a forum asked this most asked question:

How do I become rich?

If there is any single formula to getting rich, then we would have eradicated global poverty a long time ago. The fact that the world is still saddled by problems related to poverty only means that the answer to the question remains a puzzle. Those who have made it---Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump seem to have one thing in common---PASSION which they had pursued and are still pursuing.

Many realize too late after doing their work for 25 years that their work is not really their passion thus they have remained stagnant.

Passion is what drives a person to do something in an extra special way. It is loving what one is doing and doing what one loves to do. One cannot but succeed if one pursues his or her passion. What is your passion? Is it cooking? teaching? writing? speaking? drawing? singing? Discover it and go after it. There is no way that you can go wrong with this. It could be the answer to this most asked question--how do I become rich?
