Show passion! but not always and not at the same intensity

Intelectual passion is felt like some sort of energy. At high intensity you feel out of your body and afterwards you don't know what got into you. In the end you feel somehow changed. It is an amazing experience but quite all the time very intense. Anyway, intense feelings are strange experiences because they are not daily routines, you live it internally and it is indescriptive in words (others have to live in order to understand it).

After a interview en employee asked me why don't I show passion because she shows so much passion, when she talkes about her job . Then, when I was at a conference with foreign students (each of different nationality) they were amazed that I use so much passion when I talk. (in both cases it was about marketing and its practices). Something is wrong here.

Firstly, is it possible that we are assesed and classified on the passion scale by persons around us who are using their own level of passion? The assumption feels right, don't it?

Passion like all other personal attributes are judged by internal mechanisms which use comparison between us and them. Your level of passion is in the eye of the beholder.  

But we should always keep in mind that people are introverts and extroverts, maybe they are from different nationalities with diferent cultures etc.

Secondly,  passion can bring together people or can set them apart . For example if you meet somebody new, who is passionate in the same field and you start talking, both will say that you just clicked, will be amazed that there is another person that gets you and you will feel rewarded after that conversation.   

Others may be emberrased when talking to more passionate persons, from different reasons and reject that person because of fear of unknown. Usually persons that never experienced passion will be always expeditive with passionate persons. Just because they don't know the feeling, looking from outside, they find it odd and messy, they will laugh or change the subject.

Anyway for the both persons the conversation will be a failure.

From these assumptions derives a series of questions:

• when is it ok to be passionate
• how to find if your interlocutor knows what passion is 
• how to determine the right level of passion 
• how to speak the same language in social contexts (eg interviews, parties etc)
• how to gain advantage from your passion?

When magic is replaced by Personal Branding

Why to use magic when you can know yourself and use the power of Personal Branding?

For my bachelor I have assiduously studied the impact of personal branding. After study and research I ended up to the surprisingly conclusion that many philosophers, writers from the early 20th century (Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill etc) and famous persons already KNEW about this concept but it was rather ambiguous, undefined. I knew about this, unconsciously. It seamed so familiar as I was reading about it, but I never realized until then how powerful this knowledge is. They all used it or they talked about it, but now, since a few years ago it finally has a name: PERSONAL BRANDING.

For some time now scientists have been talking about Personal Branding and how important it is! For me, personal branding is the modern word for success, reaching one's life goals and enlightenment. Is it very important for each of us, whether we are managers, employees, persons searching for jobs, friends, partners. The personal branding is the KEY TO SUCCESS. Use it and you will see.

To explain it more simply: In this process we are finding who we are, what we stand for, what we really want, and how we truly are. We are obliged to think about our mission, our objectives, priorities, our weaknesses and our strengths, our opportunities and threats. And only then, we can unmistakenly decide what to do with one's life.

Personal branding means a continuous development of oneself, a way in which one becomes more accomplished. In this process we come closer to our true selves and this brings happiness and enlightenment. "If you know the enemy and you know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you now Heaven and you know Earth, you may make your victory complete." Sun Tzu

Creating a personal brand enables us to think more about our future, otherwise people tend to let themselves "go with the flow". Going with the flow is an viable option but using this mentality you will end up anywhere! Why end up anywhere if you can end up where you are meant to be, and all this only by truly knowing yourself.

Think how powerful your desires will be if you know exactly what you want, how you are! A desire that comes from the bottom of one's heart is the most powerful desire. It is like a wonderful spell, enriching your life and moving it in the right direction.  
"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. "Confucius

Don't trust me, try it for yourselves!
Have a wonderful day
