PASSION

today the person whom i respect the most and never fails to inspire me talked about passion. and no, i'm not talking about the lovey-dovey sort of passion... it was PASSION for every single thing that we do in our daily lives.

what is passion? what can it do to an individual?

she said something that i will never forget for the rest of my life - "Passion makes you crazy, but what other way is there to live?"

there are a few things which i strive to live by: passion, integrity and excellence. perhaps 3 of the hardest values and ideals to live by... but yet, not impossible.

to quote one of my dearest F5 friends, elaine heng, who lives also by these 3 ideals - "technical perfection is insufficent, it is an orphan without the true soul of a dancer (chorester)." that's just so true. being a chorester, i have realised that without passion there will be no meaning to the notes that i sing... i mean, a piano can produce notes, a violin can produce notes and so i can just be another instrument singing out notes that are on a score. what makes the difference? the SOUL... the very thing that only human being possess and no others. and guess what? that is what passion is all about. passion requires not just your mind, but your HEART and SOUL as well. the spirit behind the actions, the attitude and purpose of doing something is so important and really makes the difference. that's where the MAGIC can really be made through music.

passion, integrity, excellence - perhaps extremely difficult to carry out, but are u willing to take the challenge? i am.
