Passion

What is it inside all of us that drives us to do what we do? Something out there gives us the will to wake up each morning beyond the basic necessities of air, water, food, sex and World of Warcraft. For many, its the thirst for recognition, or the compelling need to hoard shiny things. But that isn't necessarily the best path. Who out there wouldn't want a million dollars, or to be the realm first guild to down Yogg Saron? These people with "wants" are a dime a dozen. Then, there's the people who NEED.

every once in a while, you'll bump into someone who loves their craft so much, it seems they are always immersed into some aspect of it. It's a rare sight indeed, but what I imagine a successful person to be like. Their passion allows them to constantly learn more and more, allowing them to become specialists. Then, there's only so many people in the world who know something or do something as well as you do. Then with that comes the "phat lewt".

Passion will bring you success. The hard part is finding something to be passionate about, then putting in the effort into truly becoming the best. Put in those hours reading. Take the time to perfect your execution. You know I will (after raiding finishes).
