Many of us join engineering with passion. Many with compulsion, many feels engineering is the best option to get a good salary, many think engineering gives me respect and pride in the society and many join because of the fact that I didn't get medical seat, so Ill become an engineer which is the next best option.

May be about other fellow mates or may be about society or may be about fate telling. I was unlucky, thats why I failed. But we never think of finding solutions to problems instead of finding excuses for that. That is where passion comes. Websters Dictionary defines passion as an intense, driving or overmastering feeling of conviction or a strong desire for or devotion to some activity or concept. If we have utmost interest on the work we are doing, if we do take a task out of passion and work selflessly, there is less chance of failure. I have seen people succeeding when they work for their loved ones. When the work becomes their prestige issue, they complete it by any means. So passion is not only the secret, but action is also needed. There is lot with our attitude and also with the attitude of the people us to make us motivated. Passion drives motivation. ******
