I was going to write about something else this week but a couple of events changed that. The events were triggered by two people that seem to be all about taking risks and seem to take their sense of curiosity very seriously.
The first event was the launch of the beta version of an online game called "Chronos". The game's developer, Luke Pammant, works with me in my team and I have the privilege to have him as a good friend as well. He doubles up as someone that regularly gives me an opportunity to better myself. This game that he has developed is his passion written in code
Are there lessons for me here? Lots actually.
As a witness to the development process of Chronos, I have realized, through Luke's efforts, that a healthy dose of passion towards what we are trying to accomplish always helps. Add to that a helping of curiosity and creativity and what you might get is an unstoppable force helping you on your road to success.
Both my teachers, this week, are very young in years but their relentless march towards creating things (whether through software or playing blocks) and being fiercely passionate about what they like doing is a lesson that great leaders have been teaching us for years.
So let us do ourselves a favor this week - let us write (story, poetry, code, blog or anything else), cook, paint, sing, dance, build or do anything else that we are passionate about. If not for us, then to honor those, among us, that still have the hunger and fire to dream mighty things.
