Inspired!

I've been writing (passionately) about how passion wins.

Now I've been thinking more deeply about passion's roots. Why are our passions our passions? What ignites them? What feeds them? This is a lofty topic, but here it goes...

For me, passion begins with inspiration. I am especially inspired by three things:

I am inspired by the talents of others. When I work with talented inventors, artists, designers, engineers, innovators, managers, leaders...I am inspired.

I am inspired by challenging ideas. When I learn of bold ideas, when I think of new ideas, when I collaborate on new ideas, when I see people pursuing their ideas...I am inspired.

I am inspired by good intentions. When I work with people who are generous, thoughtful, kind, courageous, fun...I am inspired.

People, intentions, and ideas...these three things inspire me.

"Success is not an end, but an attitude."

  3. I agree with these three points completely - and with concept "success is not an end, but an attitude" that quote is very complimentary to one I have kept in sight over the years, which is;

    "Attitude Determines Altitude".

    I am sure that your attitude and approach to business and life has set the stage for INET to hit new heights - starting with another 52 week high on the stock price today. Congratulations.
