I put in a comment on this post earlier today….but it seems to have lost its way for some strange reason. (My comments on your other posts found their destination though.) So, please bear with me, while I go “Ctrl+V”ing again. (Thankfully, I saved it as it was a long one).

Or, on second thoughts, as I wrote a post about this post of yours on my own blog and included a copy of my own comment there….why not simply provide the link to my post this time around? (Sheesh….complex!)

Thanks Sukumar ..

For sharing your insights about Passion. While I do not have an opinion on whether ‘passion’ can be ‘taught’ .. Your article contained invaluable insights.. and I do agree that initiatives like internal blogs amonsg others certainly go a long way towards ‘ stimulating’ passion among employees in an organization.

Looking forward to reading (& learning!) more from your stables!

Thanks Sujatha. I agree with you that even prodigies/geniuses need to see results even if it be failures as Edison puts it eloquently.

I have never really mentored specifically around becoming passionate. I have always thought about how to make people passionate, but since i didn’t know how to do that, i never tried. Now that i have a greater understanding through these discussions, i will try that. Hopefully, i will be able to learn something from that and blog about it!
