A strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, love or desire for anything.

Passions are activities that you love to do and are better at doing than the average at doing them. Some examples of passions are, sports if you are a good athlete, music if you are a good musician, acting if you are good actor and so on. You have to work at improving your abilities to do the activities required for the passion. For example, an athlete has to practice a lot, learn things, and work hard so that he/she can become better that the average at his/her sport. Passions may require some innate ability and hard work of getting better and better at doing it. Below passions are hobbies, and above passions are dreams. 

Passions are not relaxing. Passions don’t leave you alone. Passions insert themselves into your life whether you have time for them or not. Passions soothe you and drive you crazy at the same time. We think of a passion as something we love, an overwhelming feeling of devotion and obsession. But in older English, ‘passion’ also meant ‘suffering‘. And even now, passions will exact a high price from us – but one we never seem to mind paying.

If you actually ask around you may find that not everyone really gets what passion is. At the root of it all, it points to that strong emotion you have inside of you, for someone, or something. And anyone who has ever succeeded in making a name for themselves would probably state their passion for the work / craft / industry as a reason for their success, but do you knowyours?

Hobbies are the most basic contributor to intellectual wealth. Hobbies are activities that you like to do. A hobby can be anything, as long as you like to do it. One person’s hobby may seem like a chore to another person. Some common hobbies may be reading, writing, exercising, playing sports, watching tv, gardening, shopping, volunteering, and on and on. The list can go on forever. This is a good thing, because there are so many potential hobbies everyone can develop many hobbies for building intellectual wealth. Beyond a hobby an activity can become a passion.

Passions are activities that you love to do. A passion contributes more to your intellectual wealth than a hobby does for the same amount of time. This is because your desire for a passion is much stronger. There can be some overlap between hobbies and passions. What separates them is that you usually want to do the passion more strongly and are usually much better than the average at doing it. Some examples of passions are, sports if you are a good athlete, music if you are a good musician, acting if you are good actor and so on. Just like hobbies the potential list is long, but you have to develop a passion more than a hobby. You have to work at improving your abilities to do the activities required for the passion. For example, an athlete has to practice a lot, learn things, and work hard so that he/she can become better that the average at his/her sport. Passions may require some innate ability and hard work of getting better and better at doing it.
