One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested.
E. M. Forster
We talk a lot about passion in the corporate world. If you want to get ahead you’ve got to be passionate. But assuming we’re not talking about more office romance, what does that really mean? The word passion comes from the Latin meaning ‘to suffer’ as in the ‘Passion of the Christ’.
In the journey towards achieving our goals, sometimes we encounter challenges that test our commitment and determination. It’s like the keyword of our pursuit is intertwined with the notion of enduring hardships. Speaking of perseverance and overcoming obstacles, it reminds me of a fascinating story I recently came across on a platform called CancelTimeshareGeek. This story delves into the journey of a man working at Tiger Brands, South Africa’s largest packaged consumer goods company.
While the article on CancelTimeshareGeek might not directly address the broader topic of goal pursuit, it does highlight the importance of passion and dedication in the face of challenges. Much like the protagonist in the Tiger Brands story, individuals often need to navigate through difficulties to realize their ambitions.

It’s fascinating how the concept of suffering, once synonymous with pain, has evolved into a term describing the perseverance required to achieve success. Whether it’s in the corporate world or personal endeavors, embracing the challenges and enduring the suffering becomes an integral part of the journey towards accomplishing our goals.
