Begin doing the
work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you
can only work at it _1_. Albert Einstein was _2_ to get a job as a physics
professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work
relative to _3_. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” _4_, he
wrote the two most famous papers while _5_ as a patent(专利) office worker. After the _6_,
there was not any major _7_ in the world that would not have wanted him to work
for them.
If you want to
work as an artist and are _8_ as waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter
who _9_ one day to become an artist. That puts the _10_ you love somewhere off in
the distant future. Rather, think yourself as _11_, supporting yourself by
waiting tables and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is _12_ to earn a
living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That _13_ plenty of time to
devote to training or developing your craft(手艺) in the _14_ hours.
While seeking the work
you love _15_ helps to expand your awareness into the universe of all
possibilities. You don’t want to be _16_ the ideas of what you should do or
what you have done before. Having opened to _17_ possibilities, you can make a
final _18_ and select the work you love as your won.
Doing the work you love
_19_ that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the _20_. It
requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all
the little details that make dreams come true.
