Passion- a necessity for workmanship

Passion is a very strong emotion that we strive to incorporate in every aspect of work at Tulip. Passion is an emotion that encapsulates a person’s desire to achieve anything, to dream that impossible dream, and make it a reality. In fact, a career is a choice one must make with their heart, that is, letting their passion guide them on their path. In Tulip, we believe we have a strong roster of highly passionate and dedicated people, people who have wanted to work in this field for as long as they can remember and thus, they will give it their best to succeed.

No work is superior or inferior but it is the spirit with which you carry it out that matters. This is where one must have passion for the field he has chosen to undertake. There is a saying “It is a man who dignifies a job and not a job that dignifies a man”, and that is a saying that we feel everyone should respect and hold true. To elaborate this with an example: Martin Luther King Jr., once said "If a man is called to be a street-sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street-sweeper who did his job well.'"

This passion for the work is infused in all our employees. They look forward to work on Mondays and will not rest till all their assignments are completed. The reason they are so passionate about their work is because they strive to be so. Not everyone can automatically be passionate about what they do but they can train themselves to be. They need to be innovative and try different approaches to work, thereby mixing up the routine of day-to-day office work. They need to act passionately and not take a back seat when they are given work or when participating in any work related discussions. Lastly, one needs to be self driven and motivated.
So, our advice to all is simple. Life is short. Don't waste your life waiting for the weekends. Find something that ignites your passion and go for it.
