Unfulfilled or not‚ everybody has passions. In this essay I would like to touch on the importance of pursuing passions‚ or if you like‚ following your heart. The pursuit of passion doesn’t necessarily mean you should quit your day job to follow it. For instance I have a passion for photography‚ but it would be less than plausible for me to quit my job and pursue it as my career. It may be different for someone else‚ again I have an example from my own personal passions. Eventually in my life I want
