"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
Confucius
I'm really starting to think this is really true. If you find a job that you love, then you will never have to work a day in your life because you are doing what you love. Doing what you love is not a chore, it is of your own interest and something that you love to do. Not out of obligation, but simply of your own free will. Then work would not be work anymore.
Sorry, today's my second day of work. Yes, I've learnt a lot already even though it is just my second day. And tomorrow's my off day, so I'm writing tonight. As you can tell from my tone, I really do not love this job. Yes, my colleagues are really nice and friendly, workload is not as tough as expected, but still, I'm not doing something that I enjoy, but out of obligation instead to get an income.
I'm sure many would be facing the "problem" of having a job one does not love, but instead does it for a livelihood, for survival. In a Utopian world, everyone would have a job they love and not out of obligation. Unfortunately, in reality, Utopia does not exist. Perfect happiness, whether in work or play, can only be dreamed of.
Since this post is more about work, I will write more from my own perspective. I know my view may be limited in some ways, but it is still my view, and I have a right to express it. You may disagree with me, I will not really mind. After all, such issues are debatable.
So, with working experience of only a few months in a variety of part-time jobs over long school breaks, I have come to a conclusion that looking for a job one loves is really difficult.
Reasons?
Number one, one may not have the necessary qualifications to do that job.
Number two, there may not be such a job available in the market.
These two reasons, are the main reasons from my perspective that are stopping people for getting the job they love. for the second reason, there is no way one can change the situation. For the first, although it is possible, it is still difficult to change the situation unless one has enough time.
So to end off, I have another quote:
"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
