Since Whitney is no longer using the title for her blog, I am totally stealing it for this post (one person's trash is another person's treasure).
The point of my last post was that passions are powerful and you should make use of the passion that you have. My curse is that I have no passions. I have wishes and dreams and desires, but that burning compulsion to do a particular thing just isn't there. I see this happen with people who are good at communicating.
Excellent communicators are excellent arguers. But because of that, it makes them dispassionate because they can see the validity of both sides of an issue. Similarly, it is hard to get really amped about any one subject because you know how awesome so many other subjects also are.
This is not an excuse. If you don't have passion, tough. You still gotta keep on kicking. Rely on your desires. If you want it badly enough, you may be able to dig down and pull out enough energy to do what you want to do. (Maybe just forcing yourself to write at least one blog post a day is a good way to start.)
About Me
- Kevin Bahler
- I am a writer. A writer is one who writes. By the same logic, I am also a thinker, an observer, and a puzzle solver. I am a graduate from the State University of New York at Cortland with a degree in Professional Writing. The idea of the program is that one studies all three aspects of writing as a whole: Creative Writing, Technical Writing, and Rhetoric. The knowledge I have gained in those subjects is put to use in every aspect of my life. The worst thing a person can be is boring. I am most interested in people who can pique my interests. An example is people who can correctly use the word 'pique'.
