Being patient and having a passion.

Salam,

Few days ago, I wrote in one of my entries saying that I was losing my patient and passion towards teaching. As a teacher, I shouldn't blame the others but myself  for feeling so down. BUT now I've fully recovered it's nothing to do with the shopping therapy after I reminded myself to go back to WHY DID I CHOSE TEACHING AS A PROFESSION!

So, these are the reasons:

• I like to impart and share knowledge.
• I'd been brought up watching my late mum, my aunts and even my late grandpa (my father's side) really love being teachers.
• It's one of the noble jobs to do. (insya allah banyak pahalanya bila ajar ilmu yg bermanfaat)
• I love when I also learn something new from my students. (esp. because I'm teaching adults)
• I love getting the satisfaction of knowing my students are able to use what I've taught them.

 I reckon, we need to be patient and have a passion in any kinds of job. This is because, when we don't have the passion and we are not so patient, we won't be able to succeed in anything. These two main factors are in fact the deciding factors when it comes to having a meaningful and successful career.

Now, what do you reckon? Do you have these two main factors? How and what do you do when you think you're losing them? Is there any other factors in helping us to succeed in our career?
