Passion

We mostly know what corruption is. But what made it flourish?? Why do people tend to be corrupt? Is it our disbelief in values? Is it in our inner voice that sometimes questions the values of honesty and integrity that have been set by very few of our predecessors.

How many times have we heard of a man who always wanted to be an MRO or a clerk at a government office. People don't aspire to be in those positions. They don't have passions which can be pursued by joining the jobs. I haven't heard of a man who when he was a child dreamt of moving papers from one desk to another or creating the best of work environments and be the best 'peon' ever.

No wonder many peons and other guys and corrupt. They need a reason to pursue the job besides the usual salary.

No matter what one says, no one can do a job just for what they are paid. Theres always the need for a little extra. The 'little extra' means differently to each person.

Check out the interviews of actors or phtographers or anyone who picked a profession out of their passions.

The questions would usually be:

"What drives you??"

"When did you get your calling??"

"What would you advice to future generation of actors/photographers/musicians etc.,"

Now imagine asking your GHMC kachcara guy these questions.

To him all he is concerned about is making his ends meet. and a little extra (this could be smoking or drinking or another wife)
