Passion check?

It's easy to go around saying, I am passionate about that or this. But I think with time everything changes. I entered a field know as Value Investing. It is a school of like thinkers about stock market investing. Mostly I got to know because I wanted to become rich. And too soon. I say to myself and others that I am passionate about value investing. Sometimes, I question myself about that. Recently I had a conversation with a friend of mine, Dheeraj, whom I met at Badminton club here at Shaik Pet.

That time some how while talking we discussed about his camera, Sony, I don't know the model. I asked him "Did you buy that?", he said yes and simultaenously said "See, it is easy to claim that we are passionate about some things, like say photography. But in my view, first that person should take more than 10,000 pictures and if that person still feels the same way towards photography, then he's passionate.

So, I reflected there and then for a moment. Because you can find wisdom everywhere and you just need to grab and reflect on it. I found one right then.

If I am passionate about investing, then first I should start researching about at least 100 companies. Then I can know about what's what.
