If success is to be yours, it will be yours while you are following your passion. You won't succeed doing something you despise, you won't even succeed doing something that you like doing, and you will succeed when you do what you love, what you're passionate about." (Mr. Self-Development) Without passion, success will not take place or occur, having passion will always guide to success. Being successful will not occur if you are doing something you adore, or even if you have a strong love with something, success will only occur if you are passionate about it, and commitment plays an important role in the journey of success.  The hunger for success is observed when someone struggles throughout his entire life to achieve greatness.  "Never fear failure; fear not trying, fear not giving your best, fear losing focus, but never fear failure. Failure is the path to success. Failure is the sign that you're headed in the right direction. To succeed twice as fast, fail twice as much. Fail often, fail daily, and soon you will succeed. Jordan said, "I've never been afraid to fail."(Mr. Self-Development) Even If you fail, always have passion for what you do because to become successful failure is the path that leads to a great world of achievements. Successful people have experience the sour taste of failure. By losing passion one will have no hope for successor a regular easy life.

Michael Jordan growled as a player to be a worthy case. Don't be eager, always find time to care, and bring smile on people's faces, and make them believe.
