Peter’s Real Passion (from Fountainhead) || Acharya Prashant

There was this one passage from the fountain head. There are these two aspiring architects Ror and Peter Kiting. And Kiting is in the field of architecture just so that he may have a career. He really has no passion for architecture.
Ror is the exact opposite. He has so much passion for architecture that he expelled because he’s just too good for them. And these two are meeting. Eating is at the height of professional success and Ror is still struggling. Eating shows a particular painting to Ror and uh with a lot of hesitation and he says you know this is something I made and for the first time Ror sees something that Kiting has made with love.

Kiting made a lot of sketches and designs and all those things that architects do but there was never any love in it. Lor sees that and he looks at Kiting and he sees that there is raw passion here and also talent. He looks at the painting and with a lot of regret and pain he tells Kitting too late. You have gone down the wrong road just too long, too late. This is where your passion lies. But you never would commit yourself to it because probably there is no money, no career in it. Don’t let that happen to you.
