SUCCESS SECRET 4
Do What You Love to Do
When you start doing what you really love to do, you’ll never work another day in your life.—BRIAN TRACY
DOING WHAT YOU love to do is one of the great secrets of financial success. One of your primary responsibilities in life is to find out what you really enjoy doing,what you have a natural talent for, and then to throw your whole heart into doing that particular work very,very well.
Self-made millionaires are those who have found a field where their natural strengths and abilities are exactly what is required to do the job and achieve the results desired. Most self-made millionaires say that they “never worked a day in their life.” You must find a field in which you can be totally absorbed—a job or area of endeavor that completely fascinates you, that holds your attention, that is a natural expression of your special talents and abilities.
When you are doing what you love to do, you seem to have a continuous flow of excitement, energy, and ideas to do what you do even better. Here is a question for you: If you won a million dollars, tax free, tomorrow, would you continue to do what you are currently doing?
This is a great question. It simply asks you what you would do if you had all the time and money you needed and you were free to choose your occupation.Self-made millionaires, if they won a million dollars cash, would continue doing what they are doing.They would only do it differently or better or at a higher level. But they love their work so much that they wouldn’t even think of leaving it or retiring.
Perhaps the greatest responsibility of adult life,when you are surrounded by so many different choices of occupation and career, is for you to find out what you really love doing and then dedicate yourself to that field. And no one else can do this for you.
ACTION EXERCISE
Identify the type of work that you enjoy the most. What activities have been most responsible for your success in life to date? If you could do any job at all and be successful at it,what would you choose? Set it as a goal, make a plan, and begin moving in that direction today.
成功秘诀4
做你热爱的事情
当你开始做你真正热爱的事情时,你这辈子就不再工作(这里的work或许翻译成打工更贴切)了。——布莱恩·特蕾西
做你热爱的事是财务成功的伟大秘诀之一。你的首要责任之一是找出你真正热爱做的事,你有天赋的事,然后全心全意地把这件事做得非常非常好。
白手起家的百万富翁是那些找到了他们自然的能力和优势可以得到准确发挥的领域的人。大多数白手起家的百万富翁说,他们 "一生中从未工作过一天"。你必须找到一个你可以完全投入的领域——一个完全让你着迷的,吸引你注意力的,能够让你的特殊才能和能力的自然体现的工作或努力的领域。
当你在做你喜欢做的事情时,你似乎会有源源不断的兴奋、能量和想法来让你的工作做得更好。请回答下面的问题:如果明天你赢得了一百万美元,不用交税,你还会继续做你现在在做的事情吗?
如果你明天赢了一百万美元,免税,你会继续做你目前正在做的事情吗?
这是一个很好的问题。它只是问你,如果你拥有你需要的时间和金钱,你可以自由选择你的职业,你会做什么。白手起家的百万富翁,即便他们赢得了一百万美元的现金,他们还是会继续做他们正在做的事情。但他们非常热爱自己的工作,甚至从未想过要离开或退休。
当你被这么多不同的职业和事业选择包围时,找到你真正热爱做的事情,然后把自己奉献给这个领域,或许是成人生活中最大的责任。没有人可以为你做这件事。
行动练习
找出你最喜欢的工作类型。迄今为止,哪些活动对你的人生成功责任最大?如果你可以做任何工作并获得成功,你会选择什么?把它作为一个目标,制定一个计划,并从今天开始朝这个方向前进。
来自译者的思考:

刚好今天在群里看到这么一张图,感觉即真实又扎心。我想这是很多人的现状吧,上面那个问题“如果明天你赢得了一百万美元,不用交税,你还会继续做你现在在做的事情吗?”,应该大部分人的答案都是否吧。
并不讨厌写代码的我,答案也是否。那为啥不改变改变呢?
如果你已经有热爱做的事情,不妨多花点时间在它身上,我之前听到一句话叫“任何需求都至少有100万个用户”,所以,不管你热爱的事情是什么,当你到了一定水平后,肯定是会赚到钱的,到那时候,副业就能变成主业了。
如果你像我一样,还没有找到自己真正的热爱,那就继续找吧,不断学习,不断尝试,总会遇到的。毕竟它是能够做一辈子的事情,值得我们用心找寻。
一起加油吧~
