Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Don'T Follow Your Passion

The fashion today is to follow your passion
Be it wizardry, neuropsychiatry or artistry
   
   Yet what if your passion leaves faces ashen?
   What if you can't read minds or write poetry?

You may have to set your sights a notch lower or two -- 
Don't follow your passion; just bring it with you

P.S. Awtry February 13, 2019 at 9:52 PM The Dirty Jobs guy did a video for PragerU on this topic. I think you'd like it. Nice write :) Gershon Wolf February 13, 2019 at 9:56 PM Ha, ha! You are SO prescient! That happens to be my favorite video on the Prager U. website. Bullseye, P.S! ... Thanks for your continued support! Best wishes, Gershon

Robert Bloomer February 13, 2019 at 5:40 PM Follow Your Passion Grab the Bull by the Horns Step Up to the Plate Rise to the Occasion Just Do It(or was it Just Say No?) Empty....empty....empty.... Gershon Wolf February 13, 2019 at 6:38 PM Empty!! You've nailed it... The Lady Gagas of the world pull the wool over the eyes of ultra-naïve, sheltered college grads with this goop. Can you believe it?! Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated, Robert. ~ Gershon

Caren Krutsinger February 13, 2019 at 5:29 AM And if your passion snatches you by your blouse and drags you along kicking and screaming, I imagine that is okay also, right, Gershon? Gershon Wolf February 13, 2019 at 10:26 AM Easy there… Down girl! LOL... Methinks that a person controls his/her passion, not vice-versa … At any rate, you have certainly brought a smile to my face with your comment, not that I could EVER imagine your passion doing that to you... :) Best wishes, Gershon
