As the New Year marched on to February, your beloved lifestyle magazine turned 13. And we celebrate this new milestone of 13 with an ode to love that is channeled when you do what you love or love what you to.
Although the two – loving what you do and doing what you love – strike a synonymy, there is an obvious difference between them. The former persuades you to find a love quotient in the job/task you are engaged in, while the latter indulges your love for the task you are involved in. The difference is subtle and the lines do blur when your career becomes your passion. But the crux of the matter lies in walking that extra mile to embrace what you are doing with passion and purpose.
We invite you to retrospect and find out where you stand in your career graph. Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones doing what you love; or, maybe, you have made truce with your work and love what you are doing. Of course, not everyone is fortunate in their career quarters, but there is no reason why the status quo cannot be changed…
As we turn 13, the cover story in our 13 th anniversary issue could well prove to be the starting point. The inspiring stories from an adventurer, a professional pianist and a photographer will demonstrate how doing what you love or pursuing your passion could help keep that spark within you alive. It is a salute, an acknowledgement of the importance of following ones passion to rise above the everyday monotony of home-office-home regimen.
This special edition also takes a long pause to retrospect and pay homage to our departed leader, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said. His developmental ideals and his peace directives continue to inspire and lead us on.
Read on and celebrate our 13 th anniversary issue with us!
