@Abishek Thanks for your comments. Think I replied to a question similar to yours here. Not sure if it'll help. @Socram Sadly, there wasn't much info in the survey that could help elaborate on the concerns you raised. And I understand you're giving everyone here a reality check. It's good to read things - especially those on the internet - with a pinch of salt. But I certainly hope this article has given those who're still on the sidelines thinking of whether to plunge into something they're passionate in, some food for thought. Which was the original intent.

What skin color were they? Did they have parents that supported them financially. Was their passion financial services, the most lucrative career one can get into in this age? Are all the people in group A still alive…? etc

Angela u r correct….. these things are too simple….. bt very easy to forget…

Professors always tell me that my basics and concepts should be clear and no numerical or mathematical sum will remain unsolved….

SIMILARLY, the above mentioned facts(about chasing passion) are the basic…. if we stick to these basics …we wont be ever unsuccessul….

@Ron I don’t have a link to the survey as I jotted down the information from a magazine that I’ve read previously. I can’t remember which magazine I read so If anyone have read it, please feel free to let me know so I can give it the due credit.

I was looking for a copy of the survey. Do you have a citation to it — or a web address?

Thanks.

I think we should read this over and over again, to be reminded of the basic truth it explains. So simple, but so easy to forget.

Jamie, Scrully Blotnick conducted the survey in 1960 and the source of my data was from Joe Vitale’s The Attractor Factor book. Hope this information suffice and hope to see you around Goal Setting College often!
