When interest becomes a tool for your own survival, will interest still be interest?

I have seen some people turn their interests into careers, and they are very happy, with higher interests and a stronger sense of accomplishment!

I have also seen some people turn their interests into careers, and gradually their interests are getting lower and lower, and finally they just use their interests as a tool to make money! ! !

I think interest and interest are actually different.

Some interests can last a lifetime, while others are easy to get bored.

Secondly, it is also related to people's three views and professional environment. If you are interested in doing something, you won't be involved in some messy things.

As a profession, if the pressure is too heavy, you will gradually lose interest.

I have some cases to share with you in this regard.

I have a friend who prefers to write.

For a time, he wrote novels as an amateur at the starting point. At first, he was completely interested and didn't want to do it full time.

The eunuch dropped a few beginnings and wrote a fantasy. He wrote hundreds of thousands of words, and the feedback was good, so the novel was signed.

He happened to be unemployed during that time, so he felt very happy. Didn't God want me to be an online writer?

It is normal for a starting writer to get tens of thousands of dollars a month if his grades are not bad.

But a few months later, he was all broken and came to me to talk about his grievances.

I didn't expect that writing online novels was so tiring and the competition was so fierce.

He is a novice, trying to update himself for good grades, but his inspiration is limited.

He learned from his predecessors and used a little darkroom writing software.

After the software is installed and set, you must write the specified number of words before exiting the software.

Otherwise, even if you restart the computer, you can't get out.

After using this software, he can't feel the pleasure of writing novels, but he can't complete enough updates without using it, which greatly affects his grades.

So he told me bitterly that he thought it was too simple. I didn't expect this to be the case. If I had known I wouldn't be full-time, I would have lost interest in writing books and reading books now! ! !

He just turned his interest into a career and finally lost interest.

My outdoor tour leader turned out to be just the opposite.

He used to be a property manager with a high monthly salary.

Later, I fell in love with outdoor activities and went to chinese mountaineering association to study for a coaching certificate at my own expense.

We often organize a group of friends to do outdoor activities around our city on weekends.

Originally an interest, he became a full-time job by doing it.

Open 1 2 outdoor activities every weekend, do your own thing from Monday to Friday, and open an outdoor online shop.

I often take part in outdoor activities organized by him. I have been to the desert and climbed mountains.

The more he works, the more interested he becomes, and he often participates in various outdoor coaching classes.

Recruited a group of schoolmates from the graduated university to be part-time outdoor tour leaders and bought their own houses and cars.

He is a case of successfully turning his interest into a career, and his interest is higher.

So, let me summarize.

It is ok for some interests to become careers.

Because interest has become a career, it must be done in large quantities for a long time, and things like outdoor and photography are not easy to get tired of.

Other interests, once they become careers, are hard to keep.

On the one hand, it may be easy to get bored if you do too much, and another reason is the pressure of competition, and your energy will gradually shift from interest to how to make money! ! !

If you are faced with the choice of turning your interest into a career, you can refer to it and make a decision carefully!

The above is my sharing. If you agree with me, please praise me. Your gentle praise will make me happy for days. Thank you! ! !
