Money and hobby, which is more important?
source
Recently, I found that more and more friends are making a living by doing what they are interested in.
Some of them had to struggle for a lifetime trying to make a living with their hobby, and some just use their hobby to earn some pocket money. Either way, having a hobby of your own, and brings spiritual enjoyment and material income from it, is a great thing.
I saw some posts before that teaches you how to earn up to $5000 per month online; how to become a whale in less than a month." The author of the post also can’t do it, but still teaches others how to do it, I really despise this type of person.
By making you curious from the topic, it is said that this article is a half success, moreover, who don't want to get rich fast. And I, rarely click on this type of article, because I know that become rich in a short period and do not experience some unimaginable hardships, is impossible that it will work.
But then again, the person who wrote the article doesn't have to do what he says in the post. It is also a meaningful thing to encourage others by writing articles.
Especially making money through the things they are interested, not only can improve their skills level but also get economic returns, is a thing that a lot of people are envious of.

In this society, for the vast majority of us, work is just for survival, interest, just a luxury other than work. It is very rare to develop your interests into your own work and your own business.
So how do you develop your hobby?
Figure out what exactly you like to do
What hobbies do you have? What level of interest have you reached in this field? For example, if you like writing, can you write a good article or other stylistic articles? Do others like your work?
It's important to know if you're good at something in a particular field, and if you want to take advantage of it and make money from it, you need to have the necessary conditions in this industry. What is important is whether you can give others something valuable.
Of course, if you say you're just interested and don't consider whether it's worth it, your interest will give you a small chance of economic gain (like me). If you provide articles, handicrafts, design and so on, not to bring a certain value and enjoyment to others, how people will be willing to spend money to buy your work?
The value of the production is what you need, just as I can provide.
Adhere to your interests
If you want to do one thing, make sure you can persist it for 10 or 20 years, or for a lifetime. Even if you don't make a fortune, at least you live happily. There is a saying: "Success is living your life the way you like."
My classmate, Wendy, has a wide range of interests, and love to laugh. She worked in the bank and owned a bar with a few friends, like to make friends.
But in recent years, because she likes to bake, she bent into focus on specialized research, humbly consulted, now making her own cakes, open a bakery, named "Round Baking." Because the materials used are healthy ingredients, not adding any additives, the design is beautiful and delicious, so good word-of-mouth is the increment function as daily growth, daily orders are overwhelmed.
In the second half of last year, her husband went to the United States to learn about Davis Standard for a year, and she took her child with her. Unexpectedly in a short span of a month, she set up a bakery group, and made friends with the residents, and bring the "Round Baking" to the United States.
I often see her sharing some attractive cake pictures, and all of them have good review from her customers, know that she has made a lot of dollars.
This July, one year expires, the family will return home. As a result, the foreigner who likes her cake, ask her not to give up!
Later, in order not to give up her "Round Baking" in the US, she managed to convince her cousin who also love to bake to take over the “Round Baking” in the US.

With her interest, my old classmate able to bring her business to oversea, and in a short span of a year, able to make a fortune.
There is one time, my friend and I went to her "Round Baking" to buy some cakes, spent an hour in her shop, and her butt was in the chair for less than a minute, but her face was always smiling. Look at her, serving the customer drinks, serve the customers snacks, busy feet hit the back of the head. For people who don’t know her, will think that she is just a waiter in the shop, but do not know she is the boss.
Because of love, hard work also becomes enjoyment.
Money allows us to cope with the risks of life, solve the dilemmas we encounter in our lives, and interest, allow us to live the life we want.
A friend suggested: "If you can not find what you like, hobbies, please refer to this: photography, baking, illustration, writing, painting, handicrafts, cooking, musical instruments and even cross-country run, etc. In short, find what you like, and immediately do it."
If still can’t find it, then quickly cultivate one, and seriously study and exercise. As long as you pay attention and put effort, soon, you will find that focus on your interests, can bring you so much fun and sense of accomplishment.
Money and interest, which is more important?
This is a false proposition; there is no absolute answer.
But if you can develop your interests and let your interests bring you money, this is the best state of life.
Most of us live this way: we don't like our jobs, but because it's a guarantee of our necessities, we have to work hard. We cling to a job that we are not interested, and then look for interest outside of work and buy happiness with the money earned by hard work.
What about you? Do you really want to cultivate and develop your interests now?!
If you do, don't forget to come here and say a word to me. I'll congratulate you!
Those that do what they like doing, are only being themselves and find that they enjoy every moment of it. Abundance becomes a by product of the positive energy that this people put out. Money is just one form of abundance. What You Put Out Is What You Get
