I met this wonderful artist, Gabor, recently.

Gabor is a graffiti artist. He's been one from the time he was a little boy. That's his way of establishing his identity, make a statement political and otherwise and express his creativity. It is a high-risk art form since graffiti in public spaces is banned in his native Germany. Yet he continues to practice his art.

Gabor became a father when he was 17 years old. Today, at 28, he is the father of three children.

I have heard many times that people's lives change when they have a family. In fact family responsibilities has been cited as a reason by many for not pursuing their passion in life.

I look at Gabor and I think - nothing changes a man's passion. He can be as young as 15 or as old as 115. He can be rich or poor. He can be single or married. He can be lonely or have a family and zillion responsibilities. These are not factors that affect his passion in life; what he wants to pursue in life. Yes, they definitely shape and give character to his passion. But they neither tell me to forego or continue his passion in life. That is solely the responsibility of the man himself.

Yes, Gabor scores. I don't know how he was at 15. But at 28 he is as enthusiastic about his passion in life as any 15 year old, if not more.
