Passion

My nephew (cousin's kid) in Vancouver had just qualified to compete in the Canadian National swimming meet in Montreal. He is only 12 turning 13 next month. He has done well. Everyone is so proud of him and dreaming to see him in the Olympics :D Since young, he loved sports and is particulary passionate about swimming. Achievement aside...I personally think that it's just great that he found hispassion at such a young age. He is also lucky that he gets 200% support from family members who go all out to give him all he needs to achieve his dreams.

Have you found your passion?
I haven't.

Wikipedia:
Passion can be expressed as a feeling of unusual excitement, enthusiasm or compelling emotion towards a subject, idea, person, or object. A person is said to have a passion for something when they have a strong positive affinity for it. A love for something and a passion for something are very similar feelings.
