Money or passion by @prince4icon

Greetings great people of Steemit community! I want to sincerely appreciate the organizers of this wonderful contest for their efforts to bring great minds together.

I want to start by saying that whatever drives a man to do what he does will have a way of determining how long the person would last in that craft. And if our driving force is not within it would be a serious challenge because anything that comes from without has no lasting guarantee, but if it comes from within you would be sure that it would last for long.

Honestly speaking there are somethings I do that derives their motivation from the money I would earn and am saying this because it is the truth. But one thing I want us to know is that this particular thing I do because of the money I earn from it is not something I see myself doing all my life, and the reason am still at it is because of what am doing with the earnings that comes from it.

One of the things I have serious love for is impacting knowledge on the upcoming generation through teaching. I love it because each time I do it I feel satisfied. In impacting knowledge on the upcoming generation I don't do it because of what I would earn, but I do it because of my love for impact.

For instance, I served my Nation Nigeria under an umbrella called National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

During this period I was posted to a very remote village where there was no light, no water and no network. Infact the school I was sent to teach was supposed to pay me a little stipend, but I was not paid anything.

During this period I invested my time training the Children in the village because of my passion for young people and my passion for teaching, so even when I had no reason to work I saw more reason to work in my passion for the job I was sent to do.

I strongly believe that if we allow passion to be the motivating force behind our labours as professionals we would go a long way in doing our task with joy inexpressible. I know everyone seeks for a means of sustenance, but if what we do to acquire our income is motivated by the money we are earning then we won't enjoy the work, but if what we do is motivated by our passion and love for the work then we would do it with all our strength.

In conclusion, I place passion above money because our passion can help us generate income but money can rarely buy passion. The reason we have so many work that are not professionally executed is because most of the executioners are working for money and not from passion.

LET PASSION LEAD AND MONEY WOULD FOLLOW
