Treat work as a hobby!

Every time we discuss whether "doing what you like (interest)" can become the ability to survive? Or if you often encounter various difficulties and troubles at work, and feel that "work" is just to "fill your stomach", you may want to think about it in another way, "Is there anything you like in this job?" "Can you go there?" Do you like what you do? Turn them into hobbies?”

It's interesting to say that every time we discuss "Can hobbies be used as a living?", most people can't believe that "hobbies can really be used as work." What if we replace these two terms? "Treat work as a hobby." Of course, the first condition is that this "work" project should be something you like or are good at, so it is not too difficult to treat "work as a hobby"!

It is not easy to "eat your hobbies". To some extent, your hobbies require a little freedom to do whatever you want. You can do whatever you like, but when it becomes "work", it will have certain limitations and will If you need to cooperate with others, you will have a great chance of compromising and looking at other people's faces (laughs), and then you will lose the joy and happiness you feel when you are just interested!

If you look at it the other way around and turn "what you like into work" and "work" into a hobby, then maybe you will be able to treat what you like as a career and not hate going to work so much!

Compared with "interest", work is originally a kind of running in with others and completing something together, not just "something you are interested in". To truly make your interest a living, you should have very strong creative ability. The kind of person who can "sell himself out" independently! But such people are rare to begin with. Why should we use "hobbies cannot be used as food" as a negative sentence to deny other people's choices or deny those things that we like? Simply being interested is not good. ? Does it have to be a meal to have a lot of interest? (Do you have to achieve something to do what you like?)

Most people think that "designers" (any kind of designers) are difficult to work with and difficult to communicate with. When cooperating with other people, many people are indeed difficult to communicate and cooperate. Some are very unprofessional, some are very stubborn and insist on their own opinions, and they often refuse to give up until the last moment, or have problems. A lot of money, very little and annoying! Are these the conditions that constitute "interest cannot be used as a living"?

If we look at it the other way around, a designer like me who is neither good nor bad is still willing to help anyone solve their needs. In my professional field, I can complete all the work and help others solve their needs. Is this going to happen? Also a hobby? In this way, "work" is one of my "interests", not just "designing"!

When most people discuss whether "hobby" can become "job", they ignore our relationship with people. Although I rarely interact with people, and it is easy to encounter clients who are unprofessional or have messy work processes, but Most of the time, I still think that "when working", I am happy to solve things that "I can help others solve professionally"! And every time I meet the client's requirements and my own requirements, I feel very happy. I think this should be a trait of "taking work as a hobby"!

Every time we discuss whether "doing what you like (interest)" can become the ability to survive? Or if you often encounter various difficulties and troubles at work, and feel that "work" is just to "fill your stomach", you may want to think about it in a different way, "Is there anything you like in this job?" "Can you go there?" Do you like your work content? Turn it into your hobbies?” I think everyone must have some parts of their work that they like, or there must be some parts that they are good at and that make them successful! Maybe this way you will find that most of the time, we treat work as food, not just our hobbies as food!

Fortunately: I actually regard work as my hobby, not my hobby as food! I thoroughly enjoy all my work. Even though I often have to spend a lot of time dealing with other people’s unprofessionalism! I still really enjoy my job.

What’s more interesting is: most clients are afraid that I will be impatient if they keep revising. In fact, they are not. As long as the requirements are clearly stated, the time is given, and the price is reasonable, I rarely feel annoyed no matter how many times I revise. After all, "time is yours". Yes!" Right!

I actually regard work as my hobby, and the content of my work is mostly my interest! Maybe this is why I complain less about work than most people.
