Passion: The Key to Success in Business

Passion is the combination of hate and love. "Love to have you want, and hate if you don't have what you want." Passion come with leadership. A leader who willing to take responsibility higher than anyone in the team for victory. Responsibility come with mission and vision, a mission and vision that is so strong, making victory is the only word in the dictionary to the leader. It is like a law of victory.

When the mission and vision is so strong can create passion to the leader and the team, the leader will take whatever it take to win. There are no second best, only to win. Challenges are not excuses to give up. In history wee can see great leaders apply the law of victory, such as Winston Churchill of great Britain during world war 2, to fight against German. Mother Teresa who advocate the abolishment of poverty. Commander Schwartzkopf who leading the 6th Battalion infantry during Vietnam war. Michael Jordan in the basketball game. Magic Johnson a MVP in basketball league who turn himself into successful entrepreneur. These people practice the law of victory. "Give up" is not in their dictionary. Defeat is unacceptable. They vision only victory. When these leaders could apply themselves to the law of victory, they attract great team people who sharing same mission and vision, thus archive great success.

Often we see a strong team made of strong people, failed, the give up, is because the leader does not practice the law of victory. The leader has no passion in the way or task of the team. Why? Often is because of the Mission and Vision is not strong. When the mission and vision is not strong enough, there is no motivation on the task. The leader and the team will often fell empty, when the mission and vision is not clearly defined, meaningful, and produce great values. There is no sense to archive something. Therefore, people could not focus, distracted, half-hearted. It is no different for most employee in the big corporation. They did what they been told, but do not sure why or even how. They been called a Corporation is because it is a bunch of corpse in operation. Their physically is there, but mentally, they all are checked out. They only surviving the daily routine by sticking to the pay check. These Corporation will eventually die, such as Enron, AIG, Lehmen Brother, GM and so and so.

Long story cut short, the law of victory is by context, making a strong mission and vision to yourself as a leader, that is strong enough to blow out your mind to do whatever it is take to make it success. BE passionate about the goal, be responsible to the victory!
