You never get anywhere until you figure out the difference between passion and compassion.

About This Quote

Everything we do in life has a purpose and if we find our passion, we will never be able to function without it. However, we need to keep in mind that passion and compassion are not the same thing. A lot of people get passionate about what they do, but they don’t consider everything they do as compassion. They don’t consider how their actions affect others. They may even be focused on themselves at the expense of everyone else.
