EVIE'S FIRE
Certain things that I'm on fire about push me forward, especially at work. Ever since I was young, I have always been passionate about making a person feel happy or pleased. In my first job, working as a cashier, this passion transcended into building good relationships with customers. Subsequently I was promoted to supervisor. Then I was promoted again, to a “cash clerk.” I'm the last person who needs to be counting money, but my managers translated my passionate behavior to mean that I would probably do anything in that company well. Through passion for being a good employee, and lots of recounting, I got through it.
Today, my passion is still customer service, and I have written and spoken professionally about the subject. Although my education is in marketing, I mentor and work directly with customers. I also train and coordinate customer service for a high-energy company, mentoring customer service representatives to be as passionate about our customers as I am. No matter where you are in life, you have to be on fire about at least one aspect of your job to really make a difference and stand out. Passion is the one thing that gets me ahead. I'm still working on my college degree, but I've had no problem surpassing people who already have a college degree, by making more money and holding higher positions. It doesn't make me more or less smart. My passion fuels my fire. I guess that says a lot about passion.

Before I go out on the stage, I must place a motor in my soul. When that begins to work, my legs and arms and my whole body will move independently of my own will. But if I do not … put the motor in my soul, I cannot dance.
