The\nposition of stars that Rose essayed by actress Kate Winslett looks up at in the\nmovie Titanic <\/em>was wrong, said astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Acting\non this feedback, director James Cameron rectified it for the 3D 25th\nanniversary release of the movie. This was unquestionable proof of the fact\nthat James Cameron loves doing, what he does. The visual media of entertainment\nis bubbling with examples of men and women who have gone to the jagged edges of\nextremes to fit a particular role\u2014be it Christian Bale or Randeep Hooda. But\nsit back and take a peek and you would realise that every imaginable field of\nwork is full of people who maintain a laser-like focus on what they do and just\nlove doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take\nfor example Michelangelo who painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, his\nexemplary gift to the world of art. He spent many years working on it. The\nworking conditions were bad, so much so that he wrote a poem on it.  But one look at his frescos, those giant wall\npaintings, and you realise that this person was a genius.  In his own words, \u201cI saw the angel in the\nmarble and carved until I set him free.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think\nabout genius, then the famous composer Beethoven who created magical music, not\nto compete with his peers, but for future generations, constantly reworking on\nhis masterpieces. Challenges did not stop him from becoming great. When he\nreleased his Ninth Symphony, he was deaf and could not hear the applause that\nfollowed the performance. Another great artist who obsessed over little details\nwas Steve Jobs. His vision of \u2018making a dent in the universe\u2019 rings true just\nby a look at his legacy\u2014the iPhones, iMacs, iTunes, iStore, iPads and the Apple\ncompany itself which are the symbols of modern-world perfection.  Pristine. Absolute. Beautiful. The\ninnumerable hours that he put in day after day, week after week, year after\nyear could not always be the cynosure of the public\u2019s approving eyes, but he\nkept on putting in hard work. Think about the Doctors without Borders (M\u00e9decins\nSans Fronti\u00e8res) and their selfless contribution to the millions they have\nsaved and uplifted out of unthinkably gruesome conditions absolutely unfit for\nhuman survival. Doctors bring up a childhood memory for me. The Japanese anime\nseries, Pokemon had a character, Nurse Joy of Lucid Lake, who specialised in\ntreating and caring for water-type Pokemons. Think of the horror caused to the\nshow\u2019s protagonists (and viewers) when they realise that Nurse Joy hates\nwater-type Pokemons but just does not let personal feelings impair her ability\nto do her job. Finally, the most striking example has to be O. Henry\u2019s famous\nshort story, The Last Leaf<\/em> where the eponymous final creation stands for\nthe most startling and sincere effort 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":"
