"Thus, passion answers the question presented earlier, that is, why do people choose to teach as their profession despite its financial and emotional disadvantages. Passion plays a vital role in motivating people who are ready to help the younger generation not only in the transmission of knowledge, but also in communicating and sharing knowledge between the teachers and students. Passion ensures an individual to do his/her work well, satisfying not only the self but other people, especially the students, as well."
