13.If you're looking for any sort of career advice,it's likely you've heard a certain suggestion before:Pursue your passion!In this economy,you'll barely make any money no matter what you do,so why not do something you're passionate about?However,that's not exactly how the world works.Passion is rarely enough to get you through on its own.Finding a project you love is all well and good on a sunny day when you're feeling okay.But on those gray days when you're suffering from the flu or you're otherwise down,passion is rarely enough to get it done.
I know that feeling.At the most basic level,I spend every day writing.I'm passionate about writing and the topics I cover.But today,it's too cold outside.I didn't get enough sleep and all I can think about is crawling into a nice warm bed.Yet,I'm sitting here,typing up a post just for you.How do I keep it up?
There's another route you could go.You could take on anything that pays the bills,then find fun projects you're passionate about on the side.This is exactly the route I took when I was a freelancer (自由职业者) fresh out of college.That approach,as it happens,leads straight to passion burnout.
The reason I'm still planted firmly at my keyboard on a day when I don't have an immediate deadline is not just because I'm passionate about writing.I also have a sense of purpose.Besides following your passion,you also need to define your purpose.I write to help businesses with their content because I know my writing makes a difference for them.
My purpose keeps my passion.My work is something I'll stick to whether or not I feel passionate about writing anything today.
You can find your purpose as well as your passion-and then find a place where both intersect (交叉).It may be easier to find a day job you can tolerate.But the only way to find something that works for you is to get involved with different groups and to explore different purposes you care about.You don't need an all-consuming cause,but you do need something you care enough about to give up sleeping in on the weekends.Only then will you really be capable of pursuing your passion,and your purpose along with it.
