Somebody told me last night that She was going back to her roots, to learn more about her traditions, her heritage. She started downloading Hindi Songs from the Internet and even borrowed some books on the Hindu Religion. If you have not guessed by now, she is an Indian.

I was curious on why she was doing this, and So I asked my usual reflector style question “What Defines You?”

I was curious, Do we define ourselves in the world where we live? Or is it quite the opposite? Does our world Define us? Our Culture, our race, nationality, religion makes us and molds us into something we are not?

What defines Nick Tay? A charming, witty, friendly, Man of all mans. Well, I have my negative sides, thats for sure, but you can write about that in your own blog.

I say, what defines us as people are our passions. Sure our actions speak louder than our words, and they may even be felt for a longer period of time. But our passion seperates us from Each other?

A man’s (or woman’s) passion drives him to excel, to impact his world, to touch lives, to reach nations. Our passion burns inside our blood, and gives us no rest. It pumps in our viens and does not allow us to give up our cause. People may have dreams but without the passion, they usually never realize that dream.

Interesting to note : The origin of the word passion.
