Why does a Sachin Tendulkar, with two decades of international cricket behind him still want to play the game he loves so much? Does it make you wonder why even the most unsuccessful musician dabbles in music, even though he is really bad at it?
The reason for choosing contrasting examples is just to point out that monetary reasons is not one of the answers. It is something other than that or something ‘bigger’ than that, the unsuccessful musician would argue.
Passion would be a close guess. But what is passion? Well, I’m still searching for an answer to that question, so shall not attempt to answer that. I hope you know it, or at least searching for it, like me.
The reason I believe is this: When people do what they like, they feel that, suddenly one plus one gives them something more than two!
It’s that extra that they see, that gives them the kick of pursuing their passion. No amount of money can buy you that pleasure, both Sachin Tendulkar and the unsuccessful musician would say emphatically.
