I have ready many books and heard many leaders and they all put passion at the top of their list. Passion comes from the Latin verb patior, meaning to suffer or to endure.

So, if this is suffering or endurance then why it tops the list for success?

Here is what I found:

1. It is important to have passion to do something because before you become successful at anything you will have to do a lot of it. So, you better be willing to endure the hard work and persist through the suffering that comes from failures and breakdowns.

2. It is important to have passion because you have to be willing to pay the price before you get to the prize. There is a lot of sacrifices you will have to make and it is important that you are willing to pay the price.

3. It is important to have passion because success at a thing is a consequence of millions of failures at that thing. So, there is no instant genious in solving a problem but a sequence of failures of solving the problem before you get the right solution.

BE PASSIONATE
