✳️ Mel Booker Music Contest #2 ✳️ What Is Your Passion? ✳️
Hey everyone - New contest!!!
Pursuing Your Passions
What does that mean? How do we even do that?
I know that pursuing your passions will mean different things to different people
...so
Let's discuss it!!
I was very inspired by all of your thoughts on success from the last contest, so I want to get inspired again. In fact, I think we did a pretty good job of inspiring each other. The discussion format was a lot of fun.
As for pursuing your passions, it can come in many forms:
- Family (kind of obvious, but of course I needed to include it)
- A Hobby
- A Career
- Business
- Learning (which is entirely different from going to school)
- Being an Entrepreneur
- A charity or philanthropic endeavor
- Networking/meeting new people
Pursuing something you are passionate about is one of the great pleasures of life.
Even if you hate your job, school, etc. you can always run to this thing, this passion. It often renews your energy, and excitement and often wakes you up in the morning. Well, for some of us creative types, it keeps us up at night. 😊
Maybe your passion is not your current career. It could be that your current career can provide funding for what you really wish to do. I have written about this several times on this blog, and will continue to do so. Remember, just because you are not able to pursue your passion full time, does not mean that you will never get to do so in the future. Pursuing your passion on your free time sure can help you get through the days at the job you hate, or hours of grueling homework and study.

Steemit for rock n roll
Yes indeed!!! :-)
Hellow @melbookermusic! :)
At the moment, I am passionate about teaching children and helping them go very far in life and mold them to become learners and be productive citizens of our nation. Some people say that teaching is boring and tiring but I never saw that way. In my heart and soul, it occupies everything that I cannot live properly without teaching. I cannot end my day without teaching. I cannot feel the essence of my existence without teaching. Hence, teaching is my driving force each day and night and no one can stop me from doing it.
..............................................................................................
At the end of the day, I feel comforted and perfectly happy knowing that I shared my knowledge with those young ones who are yet to know about the world and this world is still foreign to them. I am proud to be an unlicensed teacher who stays at home, educating children who are not able to go to school for they need special attention and care. I am proud to have this passion that has clamored over the years and stood the passing of time. I am proud for who I am and where I am today.
@xhunxhiss
That is so great!!! I have been teaching guitar since 1993 and I love it still to this day. I know that your young ones appreciate you. It is a great feeling to be able to teach and lead kids to new, productive things that will enhance their life. Much success to you!! :-)
Thanks much for your compliments @melbookermusic. Looking for more "Question and Answer" challenge in the future. :)
I am proud of your selflessness and dedication.
Continue the good work, because in teaching we learn.
wow......amazing post.i love melbookermusic.
i appreciate your contest.i witting for your every music.
i appreciate your life my friends,
thanks for sharing blog,i like your art.
i wittting for your next post.
best of luck my dear............resteemit.
I have been looking at this contest since the day it started and whenever i try to place an entry, i am always faced with indecisiveness. What i wanted to talk about as my passion was music but i can't deny the feeling i have in my heart. That passion which i am not ashamed of. I am no longer for the prize but the passion.
This is my Entry
My current and forever passion is preaching the Gospel of Christ. I am passionate about it because God loves me that he gave his only son to die for me that i might be saved and because i want others to receive that same salvation and the rewards i have in heaven. ( John 3:16, I John 4:19 )
My result would be the the massive salvation of souls, joy in heaven and eternal life.
( John 3:16, luke 15:7 )
Thanks
Thank You. Caring about others is always a good thing. :-)
I'm passionate about few things i do now as a man. I do few works, first as freelancer, as a programmer, as a Poet, a bassist and as a writer. Of all these, I'm most passionate about ART- Poetry, Writing and Music. I am a lover of art and i daily pursue to be a better person than i was yesterday. I am majorly passionate about it because art sets my heart ablaze, it makes me a better person, better see my world.
Fulfillment is subject to different definitions by different people. There is no greater fulfillment for me than attaining the heights i have set for myself, it is a record fulfillment. The result is first to simply show people who never believed arts works in Nigeria that it really does and secondly touch life with every bit of my works.
I too love the creative arts, music, writing art, it fascinates me.Much success to you show the arts to Nigeria!
Thank you Mel booker. Thank you for letting me share my dream story.
Arts liberate people from the shackles of mediocrity. Writing frees the mind of unhealthy thoughts. Keep up your good work.
Truthfully spoken bro. I've beome a great deal of a man through Arts generally.
You definitely depicted your skills in this post. I am much more like you - maybe that's why we have almost same usernames. I programme and write too.
Art definitely has a place in this country even though it's less appreciated. But still I think each person can't go a day without relating with "art". Art is a representation of our mind and thoughts. It is the voice and tone of communication.
Nice one. Pleasure meeting you
I'm pleased to meet you. For me, art is number one love, then coding. Are you into front end or back end?
I'm more of a front end person. You?
Front end too, but i must confess, i'm still learning.
Thanks for asking this question! I'm sure it will light a fire in any heart that has a passion!
I am passionate about changing the way people think about education. Making people understand that you learn for your life, not for you exams. Giving them problems that makes them think instead of making them memorise stuff. I am an engineering student and I love learning and teaching! I am so passionate about such a seemingly small thing probably because this is not a small thing, this is the most important thing one can learn or do, teach effectively! I have always admired the power a teacher holds. You think an engineer is smart? An engineering teacher handles(and yes, trust me, we need to be handled) more than you would care to be left alone with it. A particle physicist is brilliant? Well you get the point.
I believe that teachers need to realise that power. And they need to use it for the greater good. You can imagine the possibilities that would come if the teachers just buckled up and took their job seriously. Pardon me, not job, profession! And yes, do not take up this profession when you fail at everything else. Take it when you succeed at everything. This is not a last resort. This should be a childhood dream, to teach!
Cheers to those who agree!
Think harder to those who do not!
Wow...teaching is something great.
We all are because we've been taught.
you are right my friend.
Teaching isn't just impacting, it is a light to the tutor and the taught. The teacher gets opened to learning new ways to what he's teaching while the student learns a new art.
I am a fan of teaching myself and I would definitely love to teach one day
Truer words have never been spoken.
You are right friend. There must be a unique shift in how education and not academics now is been handled. All parties included i.e the students and the teacher mustbe equiped to be team players.
I'm passionate about Helping others in Making their Life Better Because it is worth living and giving, my passion to live the best life possible is by helping as many others live better lives, along the way my life improves, by sharing knowledge and opinions in the hope that others can learn and profit from it, my hope is that someone can one day offer a solution to a problem from me helping them wanting to dig deeper into themselves to bring out the best in themselves for themselves.
Hope this is something that helps you find your passion, don't look for money making things in life, look for solutions to helping others, the money will follow.
Thats a noble passion to have...helping others.
That is a noble cause. You have a good heart.
Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. One does not necessarily have to be enslaved to be not free. In modern times, a lot of things may oppose a person's freedom, be it political and ethnic oppression, ignorance, or financial constraints. I live in a society were the most sort after kind of freedom is financial abundance. With that in mind, my passion is to become a successful entrepreneur. To be specific something relating to the culinary arts, because I love good food.
A while ago, I read a book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. This became the foundation of my passion to become a successful entrepreneur. Thoughts of been in a position to give back to my family is what keep me going each day. By achieving this I hope to inspire people, especially young girls like me, that they can be successful if they set their minds to it.
Hello to the budding entrepreneur. Let me say we share the same thing. Recently, I have been searching my head for ideas and all in the quest of bringing to the table a ground breaking entrepreneurship innovation.
Keep moving, we'll get there.
Thanks @mrbreeziewrites, it's really to cool to see someone who share in my perspective.
It's a pleasure.
@tej37 I commend you on your choice of books, and your desire to be an entrepreneur as well. I have several Kyosaki books - very good reading. I also have The Millionaire booklet by Grant Cardone, and a host of others. Much success to you! I will visit your blog. :-)
Thanks, I'd see if i can get my hands on that other book. Thanks again, for giving me a place to rant about my passion.
"Once you stop learning, you start dying", so said Albert Einstein. My passion has always been to learn, to acquire knowledge, knowledge that empowers, knowledge that propels me unto the achievement of greater things. My life thrives on my passion for new knowledge, so in the dull repetition of my life's daily activities, reading something new, knowing something new lights up my day.
That nameless thrill and the feeling of satisfaction that comes from knowing is what makes me so passionate to learn. Even now, I write this post because my passion to learn led me to research about cryptocurrency and thus my subsequent discovery of steemit. It is rather unfortunate that learning is a continuos process so one cannot say he has achieved knowledge, but i'll be proud to know that my successes are a result of knowledge gathered from learning as well as the postive impact i'll have on people. This also gives me a cause for tommorrow because there's always something new to learn.
Thank you @melbookermusic. Lets live, lets learn.Learning is like a superpower. You become more and more knowledgeable. Learners are leaders, the inventors and the successful people out there.
Nice one. I believe in continuous learning myself.
That is great. Learning, like music, never ends. There is always something new we can learn, and there is always a benefit.
Thats true, and that is why i have made learning a passion. Oh i learnt some music too, i can nowplay the piano after trying for some years, haha.
But learning something new is altogether intriguing, thank you.
Certainly true
Yes, it is. Thank you Friend.
My passion is playing professional Scrabble. I used to believe I can't forget anything I read, until I had to start memorising word lists(especially the four letters) and words literally disappear from my brain, this and the fact that no scrabble game is ever repeated are my greatest drivers. I naturally love reading, so since I also have to study word lists for up to 6hours a day to get to the top of the game, it's more like second nature to me
When I achieve my aims of being the national, African and world champion, I'll be able to further my present efforts in training younger ones to play the game professionally and in the process help themselves and their families with the rewards.
Love that! Studying word lists??? Very cool. You can certainly learn a lot about things doing that.
Trust me, it's a great opportunity to learn, I learn things I can't even imagine. Thanks for the opportunity to share my passion
You are on your way to be a world champion, my friend. I hope to share that glorious moment with you when you hold that trophy in your hands and the world is at your feet.
Thanks man, I appreciate the support.
Check out the two letter and three letter words.
Those are game winners trust me.
I know all of these already, including their front and back hooks, I've actually gone far in the game, I have a WESPA(World English Scrabble Players Association) rating of 1450+
Wow, That's very good.
How do you join the association.
You need to locate the local Scrabble club closest to you and register with them, and if you don't mind, where is your exact location, I may be able to contact someone that can reach you.
I stay at portharcourt.
Please visit the Shell Club and ask for Mr Mpakaboari Jack or Mr Oshikena Ojior
Okay. Would check it out next weekend.
