I've seen a lot of people who have passion and yet they cannot make anything out of their life despite their passion for what They do.

So over the years things begin to change And not because this is how we want it, because this is what is obtainable today.
I've seen people before when I was growing up people who have passion to read medicine. They go into the university, And when they come out they do very well. most of them don't do it because they needed the money but because they had passion for it. but today Things have changed. You hardly see people who go to study one or two course in the university because they have passion for it. they go there because this is the the course that is going to help them make money. This is not about passion, but about life itself. About what you need to achieve in life. So, sometimes when we begin to follow our passion and we can't fulfill destiny, we need to do a u turn. A lot of people will die without achieving anything in life all in the name of.my passion. I don't advice anyone to do that.
Recently I went into this online training on how to write ebooks in Amazon. After the training I was instructed to write books on what people want to read not what I am passionate about as long as I want people to patronize me. I was so surprised and when I noticed people who did that, they make alot of sells every month in Amazon.band here am I trying to write what I am passionate about. I believe that people should go into what will give them money and not just what they are passionate about. don't let anyone deceive you.
For the question that says- How do we get back to those days when people go into something because they have passion for it?
I don't really think we will get back to those days. I just think that we'll just move on with what we have because This is just what is uptainable today. people don't really have passion for what They do anymore, but the good thing there is that they make money out of it. let's take for example, here in Nigeria a lot of students have lost passion for what they are reading right now, because it was never what they wanted to study in the first place, so they are just giving a course and they just continue to study it and at the end of the day they just look for how to manage to make money out of it.
somebody wants to study law because that is what he is passionate about, and the system gives that person statistics. it doesn't make sense. At the end of the day, the person is frustrated. he just managed to read the statistics just to make money out of it. some people can just go on and do what they want to do not because of passion but because of money. so I don't really think we can get back to that place exactly the way it used to be, but maybe we can encourage a few individuals who still have passion for what they want to do to go on with it. The cost of things in the market today is Becoming alarming. so, when you just do something for passion and you are not getting money out of it, how will you pay your bills? And the bills keep going up everyday. you need to get something that you would do that will help you get your bill paid .

I love teaching But the truth is that I cannot go into teaching today because I am passionate about it. I need money to solve my problems that is just the truth.
I am a trained teacher and I love teaching kids, I love making sure they know what they want to do but how many teachers are doing well today? Teaching in Private schools will only make poor. The more you work, the more you need money that is never there. How many primary school teachers are making it in life ? how many of them can pay their bills very well without complaining? that's just the truth. Even if I love teaching I cannot go into it personally, I can't go into it because I am passionate about it I also need to make money to pay my bills I have kids to pay their bills. I have house rents I shop rents to pay. I have kids in school. I also have myself to take care of, my health, the children's health and the rest of the things. Teachers just get peanut at the end of the month. I will only do what pays my bills. What the world think is not my problem because they don't feed me.
Thank you for reading through. God bless you and happy new month
really go into business because they love the business because they want to help people they want to help Humanity but because they will make money most schools today just like it's rightly said it's not there because they want to educate people but because they want to make money out of it Yes even the hospitals is not because they want to cure the sick or they are passionate about the sick being healed it is just all about business and that is why you see when you get there you spend a lot of money in millions of them before you get a little treatment because it's all about money so let's put it this way whatever thing I do today it must put food on my table it's not just about passion it's about what I will do to get paid and to get paid well so that's it
