Passion

I was searching the right term of passion as I started this entry with the intention to express my life's passion. But passion gives a broad meaning and below is extracted from wiki:

Passion (from the Ancient Greek verb πάσχω (paskho) meaning to suffer) is a term applied to a very strong feeling about a person or thing. Passion is an intense emotion compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something.
The term is also often applied to a lively or eager interest in or admiration for a proposal, cause, or activity or love – to a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion, a positive affinity or love, towards a subject. It is particularly used in the context of romance or sexual desire though it generally implies a deeper or more encompassing emotion than that implied by the term lust.

Therefore, I shall express about my enthusiasm on doing the things I love. I've always had passion about self improvement, challenging myself to do something more, something better and more. Because of this passion I was too anxious to start work, I attended interview as early as 19 years old like any other Brits in the UK. I was juggling between studies and finding work. Pushed myself to go beyond my current level and wanting to become the best in what I do.

On the side, I've always wanted to give back, I formed 1Thinking group for this purpose and explored all areas to pull more people in to join. Tried all possible business ventures to test my limit. I love cooking and experiment all type of dishes even since I was very young. Related to cooking and also eating, once un-realised dream to have my own travelling documentary showing how a normal Malaysian/asian, muslim would travel and eat in Europe. I grew up in the west quite a long time thus wanting to explore and share with the rest of the world.

For family and personal life, I've always wanted more for me and family. I managed to purchase a house at the value of almost MYR1mil at the age of 28. Bought my first house at 26 years old. I also want more for my children giving them good education. Now looking forward to send them to international school, to be amongst those who will complete O level at the age of 16 years old.

Bottom line, for me passion is doing something you love with the intention to reach to a better level mentally, physically and spiritually.
