Bringing Passion Back To Work

I received a flyer through email today from SMR Hub Malaysia inviting CEOs, MDs, company presidents, chairmen, GMs, directors, senior managers, heads of Human Resources, and those involved in personnel training, to a conference and workshop on Bringing Passion Back to Work at Hotel Istana on Aug 27-28.

The flyer goes like this:

‘Martin Luther King Jr., once said “If a man is called to be a street-sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well.’”

Martin Luther King’s message to all of us is clear: It is passion that must be the basis of our work.’

In journalism, this is what we need, passion and pride in our work, something that is sadly lacking nowadays, with fresh graduates seeking for jobs rather than understanding the true meaning of the profession.

According to the organiser, the event “is vital to any individual and organisational success. It will overcome the ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ syndrome. With passion, your work and work place can be fun, positively challenging and rewarding.”

It is also passion that drives many to have their own blog. It’s more or less an online diary where whatever that is posted on it becomes a public domain.

For a new blogger like me, I guess it’s because I enjoy writing and this is one way I can really write my mind and feel some sort of satisfaction. It has also something to do with sharing my thoughts and enjoying the fact that someone’s reading it.

So if you are passionate about writing, why not start your own blog. You will enjoy it and will be even more thrilled if you know your beloved ones, friends, colleagues and people out there are reading your 'piece of mind'. If you want attention, then this is the best platform for you.
