The position of stars that Rose essayed by\nactress Kate Winslett looks up at in the movie Titanic <\/em>was wrong, said\nastrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Acting on this feedback, director James\nCameron rectified it for the 3D 25th anniversary release of the movie. This was\nunquestionable proof of the fact that James Cameron loves doing, what he does.\nThe visual media of entertainment is bubbling with examples of men and women\nwho have gone to the jagged edges of extremes to fit a particular role\u2014be it\nChristian Bale or Randeep Hooda. But sit back and take a peek and you would\nrealise that every imaginable field of work is full of people who maintain a\nlaser-like focus on what they do and just love doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take for example Michelangelo who painted the\nceiling of the Sistine Chapel, his exemplary gift to the world of art. He spent\nmany years working on it. The working conditions were bad, so much so that he\nwrote a poem on it.  But one look at his\nfrescos, those giant wall paintings, and you realise that this person was a\ngenius.  In his own words, \u201cI saw the\nangel in the marble and carved until I set him free.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about genius, then the famous composer\nBeethoven who created magical music, not to compete with his peers, but for\nfuture generations, constantly reworking on his masterpieces. Challenges did\nnot stop him from becoming great. When he released his Ninth Symphony, he was\ndeaf and could not hear the applause that followed the performance. Another\ngreat artist who obsessed over little details was Steve Jobs. His vision of\n\u2018making a dent in the universe\u2019 rings true just by a look at his legacy\u2014the\niPhones, iMacs, iTunes, iStore, iPads and the Apple company itself which are\nthe symbols of modern-world perfection. \nPristine. Absolute. Beautiful. The innumerable hours that he put in day\nafter day, week after week, year after year could not always be the cynosure of\nthe public\u2019s approving eyes, but he kept on putting in hard work. Think about\nthe Doctors without Borders (M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res) and their selfless\ncontribution to the millions they have saved and uplifted out of unthinkably\ngruesome conditions absolutely unfit for human survival. Doctors bring up a\nchildhood memory for me. The Japanese anime series, Pokemon had a character,\nNurse Joy of Lucid Lake, who specialised in treating and caring for water-type\nPokemons. Think of the horror caused to the show\u2019s protagonists (and viewers)\nwhen they realise that Nurse Joy hates water-type Pokemons but just does not\nlet personal feelings impair her ability to do her job. Finally, the most\nstriking example has to be O. Henry\u2019s famous short story, The Last Leaf<\/em>\nwhere the eponymous final creation stands for the most startling and sincere\neffort in a noble cause.\n\nThe best part about worshipping your work comes with the added benefit\nof the realisation that it is not even about recognition. It is simply about\ndoing your work and doing it well. As they say, \u201cThe journey is the reward.\u201d\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
