We hear about people who are getting paid to do something they love and feel very passionately about. This one is about all of them. I am not talking about 'loving your job'. I am talking about a job that revolves around your passion. Something you have probably loved doing long before you knew what a job was. Something that you would do even if nobody paid you for it, because it gave you more joy than anything else. I had just started working, when I heard about this guy through a common friend. He was an engineer, and while the rest of us were hoping that the economy gets better, this guy was getting paid to cover cricket matches and report. He was as passionate about the game as a lot of the other boys I know. And, I wondered, if you get paid to do something that you love so much, at the end of the day, does it turn into 'a job'? Do you not want to do it for fun anymore? Or, does it just put an icing on an already yummy cake? Does getting paid just make you love it some more? I wonder.. Or, does reporting to someone, and getting paid for it change nothing about the passion, which is why it was a passion in the first place. Because nothing could change the way you feel about it.. I wonder..
May I also say before I sign off, that I hope all these people know how blessed they are, and I pray that they stay in love with their passions for as long as they live and that nothing ever changes that! :)
