The Power of a Strong Emotion

A friend and I were exchanging thoughts on people who move away from their home-country to other countries in search of better opportunities, better life-styles, better this and that. So, the friend opined that it all depends on how much risk one is willing to take. We went on for sometime and then sort of warmed up to the idea that it really is about strong emotions. One must either want something very badly or not want something very badly. When one undergoes such a strong emotion, risks would cease to exist....or rather.....risks fade away into oblivion and tend to be dismissed lightly. People just go ahead and dive into the thing come what may. So, if one doesn't succeed at something it really is true that it is only because the emotion behind it was not strong enough. However tough the going is, succeeding would happen tomorrow if not today.

PS: No wonder Ideas are such powerful things that people sometimes do anything for...because underlying them are strong emotions.....
