Passion, dearest Passionists

I place a high admiration for people with passion.
When I say Passion, I meant those who owns it in their heart to simply live.
I do not associate Passion with only Success.
True Passion is when it outlive reality.
When no matter what circumstances we are in, Passion never fades.

I realize another reason why i love Tennis Matches so much.
Now,French Open is on.Round 3 today.
Watching a new player, playing their hardest, losing the 1st two set..winning the next 2 sets..and to loose in the final set..lost in the end.
And yet, people stand up, applaud for the outstanding effort he/she made.
Due to the fact, the big lost, is actually a grand exit.
Where people enjoyed one of the best matches.
And that in the end of the day, nobody left the court a loser.

Imagine producing the same energy, perspective and respect to everyday people.
Those who fight, within ordinary compound, and yet even there is no Grand Exit,
no Billboard to show off ones effort, no Glitz and Glamor spilled on them exaggerating their life,
i always manage to be amazed at how little people appreciate people.

Single mothers, orphans, grass cutters, hawkers, gas station workers, contractors, etc..

that usually called 'ordinary' people.
When i did see these people, did their job, in the best manner possible,
i wonder how did they do it.
And i think the answer is Passion.
Somewhere somehow in the tiny space of their heart, lies Passion.
Saying that the life given, is worth only the best effort.

Don't you think this ought to be applaud?
Don't you think they are Kings in their territory?

Im not naive. I know people never choose to be a grass cutter...if they can.
But when i saw, a father, cutting bushes near the Shell at my house, Smiling, while his young daughter and son, playing nearby...
(he said to them : "play nicely..watch around and be safe, dad will be done in a few")
I have nothing but respect.
Trust me that the bushes at my Shell, are always in perfect shape.

Is that Passion of cutting tree OR Passion of Life?

After reading, The Witch of Portobello and watched Mr.Magorium's Wonder Emporium..
what came out is this..

"Turn every ordinary into extraordinary"

Now, Passion is Heart and is about appreciating Life.
Washing the dishes, taking care of the sick, respecting our parents, be kind even to the mean,
aware of death and after life, Islam, flaws, faults, sacrifices, forgiveness and learn.

With this in mind, nothing seem unworthy.
Like Allah said, no obstacles laid for you if you aren't capable of handling.

By understanding, Passion, Life and Death..(with Islam),
we are smart for what we are.

*Applaud*

Thanks for reading.
