Add five days to your life, not two holidays in the weekend.



Have you ever heard statement that Sachin Tendulkar tired of cricket and and Latha Mangeshkar want a break from her job of singing, or Beckam would like to take holiday from foot ball boots.
Probably never we had such requests about their job. But all of us, the working people and professionals always complaining about tiresome work, tedious job and need of break.
What is the reason? When psychologist Ms. Vera Johns steiner interviewed one hundred creative people who are great success in their career- she found one thing in common: the passion of their work.
Simple truth is that we are doing our job for daily bread and loving to do something else as hobbies and habits. And we need a break from job because we cannot enjoy it.
As Mark Twain truly said “Whatever we are instructed to do is your work and whatever you are passionate to do is your hobby”
If we can enjoy our job as our enthusiastic hobby, what would be the result .we never stop working  or want break from the job  hence we are enjoying every moment like when Beckam playing foot ball or Sachin batting in cricket or a singer enjoying the song during the stage performance .
It is great idea but how enjoy a job which never would like embrace.
Only a few lucky people have their hobby as job or making the job like as pleasure as hobby easy hard task. We obviously are selecting a profession which will give us financial comfort and life security rather than our obsession.
But we can change it- simply Fake it till you make it.
You make a strong belief that what you are doing is the work really you are loving. Over period of time it will become true.
That is what the famous thinker  Confucius said: Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. 
If our job has the zeal of course our life has the zest. And there are some other tips to make your work as your passion:
Use this 3 Ps and 3 Rs
Prepare, Practice and Participate & Relax, Recreate and Renovate

And every success will boost your enthusiasm to do the job, and finally you will reach in the No Point of return where your job and passion become same. Then there is no special no secret for your success full career.
Now come to the other of the coin, if you are not detaching you from the work and you will not have the vigour and vitality to perform again.
Relax: Learn to handle stress, When you have a lot of stress about completing the target and meeting deadlines, you must do something to relax your mind, close your eyes and think that it's only a job and nothing much. And try to complete your target much more confidently without stress.
Recreations are Re-creation of your energy and enthusiasms of work. It is like re filling your car for another long journey.  To have fun at your job, feel fresh and energetic. The feeling of doing the best will charge you up.
