如何找到自己钟爱的工作
调查表明，有80%的人并不喜欢眼前的工作，而另外的20%却是充满激情的做着自己的事情。 是什么造成了这种差别？ 没激情的人，当你问他们为什么要做现在的工作时，他们的回答是，别人让他们做的。 而有激情的人都做过三件事情：
- First，becoming a self-expert and understanding yourself 先了解自己的优劣势，再去找你到底想要什么
- Second，to figure out what it is to make these decisions, so we know what our soul is made of 明确到底是什么让你选择这个事业的，是怎样的信念
- Third，our experiences，learning and applying it to the rest of our lives 定期反思，你喜欢什么，讨厌什么，擅长什么，不擅长什么，哪些做对了，做错了，哪些想要继续，哪些想要应用
另外还有两个阻碍是，你觉得你做不到，别人觉得你做不到。 这时你需要相信自己，不要因为没有人做过，你就不相信。 比如罗杰·班尼斯特，一英里四分钟， 这一直是赛跑中的物理极限， 一英里要跑进四分钟， 直到罗杰·班尼斯特的出现， 打破了这个“不可能”。 后来怎么样了呢？ 两个月后， 又有16个人打破了这个极限。
所以要相信自己，全身心地投入进去，你肯定可以找到。

Second，to figure out what it is to make these decisions, so we know what our soul is made of， Do we care about the people, our family, health, or is it achievement, success, all this stuff?
Third，our experiences，learning and applying it to the rest of our lives We learn things every day, every minute about what we love, what we hate, what we're good at, what we're terrible at.
