passion and drive tend to
loan people a spark of ingenuity or confidence to do something incredible in a
moment of indecision or self-doubt. how many times has love drawn a shy man out
of his shell to fumble across a room, only to fumble across his words as he
speaks to a woman he finds spectacular? entrepreneurs, engineers, and
scientists use drive to create new things, design new parts and change the way
the world works. and all because they have a vision of what could be.
having sight but
visionless connotates a man who has lost his passion or drive for his work. an
entrepreneur who slugs through his day, with no movement forward. an engineer
or scientist whose shoulders slump forward and whose head hangs down in defeat. they all signal a lost and directionless man. they have gotten so caught up in
the details of their work that they have forgotten the bigger picture. they have
forgotten how the tiniest protein in the chain of polypeptides can determine
how the body reacts and breaks down it down. innovation and creativity come
from men and women who realize that even the smallest parts are important in
life.
it is my opinion that we
all have passion and a drive to do things in our lives. being able to see the
world around us is an added bonus, as long as we have a vision that will carry
us at least into the next five years of our lives. some scientists work for
fifteen years in a field before they publish something notable. entrepreneurs may
try hundreds of models before they successful sell something. but they keep on
going after all of these failures because they have a vision for what it could
become.
