UPDATE:

This past weekend, a weekend Fernando had off from his racing duties for Formula One, he decided to go and race in France at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.  Fernando’s team won the overall race.  This is one more jewel in the triple crown of Auto Racing.  All he has left to do is win the Indianapolis 500 and he will have done what only three other drivers in history have been able to do.  See what I mean?

 

One of my favorite sports to watch is Formula One auto racing.  I can’t do it, but I sure enjoy watching the different teams travel all over the world to race in the fastest, most agile, and technologically advanced machines ever made.  The logistics alone to get all of the assets required at every race must be enormously complicated, not to mention, expensive.  The drivers, especially the ones who have won the world title, are paid quite handsomely for putting their live’s on the line twice a month for 8 months of the year.  Most of the drivers seem to reside in Monte Carlo.

One of my favorite drivers is a man named Fernando Alonso who hails from Spain.  Fernando has won two Formula 1 world championships.  He has also raced in the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 hours of Daytona, and numerous other races and styles of racing.  Fernando said once that he feels like he is the luckiest man alive because he loves what he does, is challenged everyday and makes a good living doing it.  His passion is so far above the money, I believe he would be racing for half the pay.  The guy truly loves racing which is why he can be seen racing different types of cars that all require different types of fitness and disciplines all year long, even when Formula 1 is off for their break.  He is one of, if not the most passionate racing drivers I have ever witnessed.  This is what we all strive for, is it not?  To have that level of passion with whatever it is we are doing to make our living.

Do you have that level of passion?  If someone asked you the question “If you could do anything, your dream job or career, anything, what would you be doing”?

How would you answer?
