Let's salute Mr.Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar for his unbeaten 200 on last Wednesday. It was his innings which made me write this article. It inspired me in many ways. I was wondering its almost 20+ years in international cricket and virtually he holds almost all records but still so hungry for runs. What keeps him going at this age with this pace. Definitely its not money, its not fame. Its his never dying PASSION towards cricket. He still plays it as if he is 16. A living example of power of passion.

PASSION can make anything happen. If one is passionate about anything then he should follow his passion and rest all will fall in place.

Many researches have been done on passion. In year 1960, Srully Blotnick tracked the lives of 1500 men and women over 20 years after their graduation. People were divided in two groups. Group 'A' made up of 83%(1,245 ) of the sample, which consisted of people who had chosen their career solely to make money and Group B consisted of the remaining 17%(255) who chose their career based on their passion. After 20 years, Blotnick published the results of his research, there were 101 millionaires in the entire group of which 100 were from Group B who followed their passion.
