Concluding with the last element in the Dispassion blog series, let us take a recent example from the professional world of tennis. Australian Ashleigh Barty retired from professional tennis at the age of 25 after reaching the summit, just 2 weeks back. A reigning champion at Wimbledon and Australian Open. Ashleigh was the number 1 in world rankings at the time of her retirement. In the year 2002, she took up the tennis racquet for the first time as a toddler in Queensland.
From the interviews and the articles written about this retirement, I was able to pick 4 classic points which reveals Barty’s extreme dispassion towards her profession:
- It was a well planned move by her, although the tennis fraternity was stunned worldwide.
- Being ever grateful to the sport, for it has given her everything that she dreamt of.
- Fully satisfied and contented with her achievements and efforts.
- Not being bound by this sport alone and wanting to explore newer options in life.
While Barty does not have to read this blog post about dispassion towards a profession, we need to do a little homework on reflecting upon her fascinating story and imbibe rich values.
