Love What You Do - A Passion for Teaching
Is it possible to do something without passion, commitment, and enthusiasm? Some choose a career path purely because it leads to great material wealth and security. It means the norms of the so-called expected and society's accepted way of life for each age is fulfilled, such as buying a car, getting married, house, holidays, etc.
