As bad as this may sound, I am passionate about proving people wrong. lol

What I mean by that is, I do not like being told I can't do something. That I am not capable, or it feasable etc.

I guess in a way, it drives me. Also, injustice drives me.
 
Ooops...what ARE you passionate about? Verbs are so very important. Even the little ones. :)
 
People ( every human being is unquie and ha the capacity to do something great,), social injustice, books, like grace im pashionate about proving people wrong and hate been told what i cant do, that im not capable of doing something, :)
 
My life is pretty simple and I am passionate about peace, and living a peaceful life in this world of chaos.......that is really it, in doing this I keep my life as simple as possible..............Everyday is a Great Day to be Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Because it is spring I am passionate about gardening. I am also passionate about interior design as well as mosaic art. And being a good mommy to my beautiful babies, Honey and Carmelo.
 
I'm passionate about doing things passionately. Like I can just drop paper into a wastebasket and that would be okay OR I can wad it into a ball and throw it away from across the office.

I enjoying doing things I can be passionate about. Driving is boring, if a car is just an appliance but, with a zest for life and a passion for driving even the smallest trips can be fun.

I take relationships very seriously, the same with love and commitment. So I feel passionately about the way things are suppose to be in a relationship. Being Lassez faire is a crime to me.

I enjoy skiing and playing sports, I feel pretty passionate about doing well at that.

Lately I've felt a little less than usual because I feel like I'm missing some critical detail of inspiration. I'm sure this will pass.

Oh my goodness I can so understand this sentiment.

At my pregrad celebration everyone in my year was given an award. Someone got "Best Clothes" or "Prettiest Smile" or "Genuis", you know what I got?

"Most Persevering Stubborn Student"

My pediatritian told my mother I was developmentally delayed (in language skills) because I didnt learn to talk til I was 5.
My primary school teacher told my mother I was mentally retarded and told her to put me in a special needs classroom.
When I was 14, God told me to me an occupational therapist, EVERY highschool science teacher laughed me.
When I was 17 I failed my Junior exams and had to repeat a year, you know what I did? The following year I completed my junior and senior years in one year and got university scholarship.
At 18 I entered my OT degree with absolutely no highschool experience (nor decent understanding) of physics, biomechanics, biology and chemistry. I passed every single paper then went back to my old highschool science teacher and laughed at HER.
Ive been encouraged to drop out of my degree THREE times. Every time they accuse me of something, I appeal and win every time. I think Ive become the bane of their existence.
Ive finished all my academic papers and have ONE placement to go til I graduate and register as an occupational therapist.
Because of the earthquake that occured here my placement has been put back 6 months.

Oh trust me, Ive dealt with a lot of depression and anxiety over people telling me Im not worth it or I shouldnt bother, but Ive also seen how God has helped me jump over every hurdle people place in front of me. I can't help but be proud knowing my stubborness comes and is fed from God.

THIS ^, my dear lady, is PASSION <3
 
awesome Kiwi, but your name makes me sad reminds me of that sad video "Kiwi" :-( - _ -

passionate about helping others around me and giving advice
 
Im passionate about History and the people who made History. I love to learn about the fall and rise of civilizations. The drive of the people who created these ancient citys and how sometimes total madness was what created the biggest empires we have ever known.

Im also very passionate about writers. Not so much about the storys they write, but about their life, what drove them to write what they did. A lot of poets have fascinating lives, while some were sick and twisted individuals, others were total genius. Edgar allan Poe married his cousin. Lord Byron was a bisexual who was in love with his half sister. Ernest Hemingway was a depressed recluse, John keats was obsessed with a woman he couldnt have.
Without them though we would be at a great loss for some of the best writing in history.


This is an exert from a poem Lord George Byron wrote for his sister: For you my own sweet sister, in your heart i know my own self secure as you are in mine. We were, and are, I am even as you are Beings who never each other can resign, It is the same together or apart. From lifes commencement to its slow decline we are entwined. Let death come slow or fast, the tie which bound the first endures the last.

One of my favorite things is to sit and talk with elderly people, particularly war veterans and those who've led passionate lives that touched others, made a difference. They inspire me.

Lord Byron is my favorite poet. He wrote beautiful things. It truly is a tragedy that those with such passion are often misguided. Imagine what they could have done with the power of God in their lives...
