Shane Jeremy James True Passion Combined With Compassion
Hello readers. I'm Shane Jeremy James “My
mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some
passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” This just about sums up
my persona, and the way I journey through life. This famous quote by Maya
Angelou signifies the
importance of empathy, inspiration, and motivation; and these are all areas,
which I would like to promote to you via my blogs.
Welcome to my first blog on true
passion combined with compassion. Now, you may be wondering whether there is
actually a difference between those two words – passion and compassion. Well,
in actual fact, there is a huge difference between them. The concept of passion
is a strong, compelling emotion or feeling – a feeling of love, hate and
desire. Compassion is the ability to show sympathy and concern for the
misfortune or unhappiness of others.
Let
me begin by introducing you to myself, and why I wish to write these blogs on
motivation, compassion, and passion. My name is Shane
Jeremy James, and I have always been business-headed. From the ages
of 16, I was reading business articles, and learning the art of business. I
even started selling hockey cards – not a business I know, but obviously
demonstrating sheer spirit and entrepreneurship!
Growing up, I had two passions. My
first passion was hockey. I loved hockey, and although I loved the sport and
was pretty good at it (if I do say so myself), I knew I would never be able to
make a career out of it. My dream of joining the NHL faded, and I knew it
wasn’t meant to be. Instead, I focused all my time and energy on my second
passion – the passion for business. Not only was business something I wished to
pursue, but also knew that I wanted to make something of myself – to be
successful, to be known, to make a difference!
When it comes to business, many
businessmen focus entirely on money. For me, it is not how much I earn, but how
much I could make a difference. Of course, money plays an important factor, and
the fact that your hard work can earn you profit is obviously a plus. However,
I love to make money knowing that I made it doing a worthwhile job.
