Title: What is your passion in life?
Post by: Mr. Wilson on November 24, 2008, 06:57:03 PM
I've yet to discover the thing that makes me look forward to each day.  For my dad its fishing, for Gordon Ramsay its cooking... and for you it is?

solving math problems. 
If I get in the mood to solve some problems I sometimes cannot fall asleep at night because I'm thinking so much.

I love it when I wake up the next day and I have the solution in mind.

well thank you TimmJ .

Yeah Kim solving mathematics problems can be quite fun for some people.
Without that passion Newton would not have discovered calculus, which
means all the sciences that make use of the idea of a rate of change would
not exist today.  Mathematics has always made me feel special.  When other
school subjects would appear difficult I would  go back to mathematics to make myself
feel smart because I actually get that stuff. 
And NO I am not joking.  :)  mathematics is cool.

I would have to say i have a few interests, like computers and electronics to lifting weights and the human body. kind of polar opposites there ;)
but i would have to say that my TRUE passion is MAGIC!  NO, not the card game that some of you may think, but in particular, sleight of hand close up magic. I've been doing it since the age of 8 and i am not 23 so i've been doing it for about 15 years! There is just something about amazing people that opens them up, you almost INSTANTLY become their friends. Its a combination of arts, but it really does put wonder into peoples lives and sometimes even the most serious of folks become sort of like little kids again when you amaze them... even though i choose not to do it professionally, all the time and money that i sink into this art pays off when you do that for people.
besides, it makes you seem "mysterious" for the ladies, which is a great attraction tool if i might say so myself...i've got proof!!! 8)

On a "just me" level, golf. Like PowerOfCheese, I love playing & practicing. I know I have it in me to play at a very high level, but to get there takes a strong commitment. With so many (good) things occupying my time, it makes it difficult to pursue. But, the Lovely Mrs. Schro knows how I feel about the game and is very supportive of my endeavors.

Here, here. I second that.

I also agree with this. Today is a gift, tomorrow is not a given.

God, family, and future family.  I'm looking forward to having kids.

For hobby, it is music and audio engineering.  Nothing excites me more than the creative freedom you have with recording.  Especially when 1 person is capable of creating a 10 piece band.  Sound/music is such an emotional medium for me, because it's not just something you hear, but feel as well.

Family, friends, valuing my life, realising it is precious, and last but not least endeavouring not to let the demons take control again.

I suffered from depression which left me not caring about myself, those around me, and stopped me from wanting to get out bed. When I woke in the morning the first thing I thought of was "How long till I can go to sleep again?" When treating my depression doctors asked if I had problems sleeping but sleep was my "out". When I was asleep was the only time I didnt have the dark curtain enshrouding me.

Phew!!!! Not often I talk of this. I dont want to go back there and I have to work at it every single day.

To anyone suffering depression, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I am proof of that.

Thanks for listenin guys  ;)

How did you get over your depression?  I get sad a lot, but I don't think I am clinically depressed.  I'm more like depressed over stupid stuff like confidence issues, girls, not liking myself (I think I am boring), not really having friends/losing teach with them, and other things like that which gets me down.

Medication, counselling, then enrolment in a college course (I am now a full first aider and am qualified to teach and assess first aid). After the med and counselling started to work I gave myself a good kick up the ass. Now I just try to stay positive. Still have bad days, but more good than bad.

Everyday, I try to be a better husband and father than I was yesterday. 

Before I got married or even thought about being a father, music was and still is the constant in my life.  It doesn’t matter if I’m listening or making it.  Music has the power to change my mood or hold me in a trance.

In addition to my wonderful family (wife, three kids and four grand kids) my absolute passion is photography.  When I am taking photos the rest of the world takes a background position.
