"Light the passion" captures the spirit of Olympic Torch Relay and is inspiring. "Share the Dream" falls within Olympic language terminology and correlates with the staging concepts of the Beijing Olympic Games and its "One World One Dream" slogan.

It appears that the slogan was originally coined for the Miss World Beauty Pageant, but it was also used as shown above for the lighting of the torch at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Lighting the passion means to allow your passion to take hold, sharing the dream means going public with your talent. Both a beauty contest and an athletic competition fit this slogan.
