"Passion was what drove them (the alchemists we met in our study), a passionate belief in what they were doing, a passion that sustained them through the tough times, that seemed to justify their life. Passion is a much stronger word than mission or purpose, ... Passionate people move mountains where missionaries can only preach. " "... to those who have not found a passion, I now find myself saying, 'experiment, try anything that takes your fancy, but until it turns into a passion don't make it the centre of your life, because it won't last'."
"... As a teacher I see that nany of my female students are less self-confident than their male colleagues, even if they are excellent students and have great ideas. I also have made the experience that there is a lack of female role models (apart from super models)- the guys who change the world are, in their opinion, male. To change this, I am looking for other concerned women who have strategies and stories to share - and of course I'm willing to share my own."
