barabbas, with my coffee in hand, I read your book on passion Cheesy

I was onboard with you when you wish for the world to practice tennis - let me rephrase that " I wish that the majority of people in the world would get active playing sports." it would lessen the stress we have which in turns creates cranky, moody, sick, sad, angry beings. * my opinion at least.

Sadly, it will not be Tennis, people need a simple sport that requires little or no equipment: Running

I am athletic and love to wake up at 7am & work out, for 2 years now i started a running club (started when my wife ran a half marathon in NY ) here I was filled with passion more like ego Roll Eyes

I gotta keep up with her - She did not just wake up one day and was able to do it, it took time, effort, drive, dedication as you put it: passion. There were times we had doubts, but kept pushing.

Whatever it was that she was doing, it was contagious - I later decided to join her on her runs, at first it was hard...really hard. Then amazingly enough the human body adapts. stronger, faster now to a point where joy kicks in. Nothing like running in Central park, music blasting away.. * runner's high rant Cheesy

Apply that same energy to your work, your craft, your investment, work at it. Not saying it will be easy, not saying you will not fail at times. But if you keep at it, You will get better. Learn from mistakes, adapt, grow.

Whomever created Bitcoin put in a ton of hours, likewise the devs of Vericoin have put in a ton as well. Nothing comes easy in life, not even for super star athletes like the ones you mentioned - What you see on the courts or field is the result of passion.Years of practice, weight lifting, crying at night, having friends and community support them. Take Venus and Serena Williams, or Usain Bolt, Michael Jordan. All have failed at some point, yet they kept going.

No matter who put them down, no matter who told them they would not make it, no matter how many times they got hurt.

Same with Vericoin, it is not easy now, it is no walk in the park to develop, promote a coin. Step by step, passionate and dedicated devs and community...we will get there.

Barabbas, I think it takes passion to comment on passion Wink

I agree with Shinraven and would add whether you are at the top or bottom passion is what drives you. On the "top" when the competition is behind you, when the goals have been met, it's passion that keeps you striving. When at the "bottom" and all hope is lost, its passion that drives you to not give up. Both actions are at times illogical but enable outstanding success.
