Passion is not an actionable word.

熱情並不是一個行為用語

It is correct that those who do what they are passionate about do better, but it is

人們對於自己有熱情的事物是做得比較好沒錯

not helpful advice. And so the question is where does passion come from? Passion is a result.

但這不是有用的建議。問題是熱情從哪裡來？熱情是一個結果

Passion is an energy. Passion is the feeling you have when you are engaged in something that

熱情是一種能量，熱情是當你從事自己所愛之事的一種感覺

you love. Passion is the feeling you have that you would probably do this for free and

熱情是你會無償去做

you can't believe someone pays you to do it. And I think we mistake that passion is something we do

而且不敢相信有人會花錢請你去做事的一種感覺。我們誤以為熱情是在私生活的活動

in our private lives but it shouldn't be done in our careers, for example. And I'm a firm believer in

而不是會在例如職業當中做到的事。我堅信你就是你

you are who you are and anybody who says I'm different at home than I'm at work

若有任何人說我在家與在職場上有所不同

then in one of those two places you are lying. The goal is to make everything you do at home

那麼其中一處便是在說謊。目標就是把在家及在職場做的所有事

and at work something you have excitement to do. So how do you find the thing that you are excited to do?

變成令你興奮的事。那麼該如何找到令你興奮的事呢？

Well, It is actually easier than you think. What are the things that you would love to do? What are

其實比你想的還簡單。你喜歡做的事是什麼？

the things you would do for free? You know, how can you recreate that feeling and be paid for it?

你願意無償去做的事是什麼？你如何重現那種感覺並且從中賺錢？

So, what are the things that I do in the weekend? I'm very involved in the art world. I love to go to museums and galleries and

我週末喜歡做什麼？我熱愛沉浸於藝術的世界。我喜歡去博物館和美術館

I love to go see dances and performances because I want to see how others are interpreting the world.

還有欣賞舞蹈以及表演，因為我想看看其他人如何詮釋這個世界

That inspires me. New ideas, new thoughts, new ways of looking at the world

那啟發了我，新點子、新想法、看世界的新方式是我感興趣的事物

are things that interest me, privately, and I seek it out and pay money for it.

對我而言，我會尋求它還會為它付錢

So, does that mean I have to have a career in the arts? No. That means I have to have a career where

那麼，這表示我必須從事藝術相關行業嗎？不，那表示我應該找個可以探索新點子的工作

new ideas are explored, where people are experimenting and trying things out and I have to explore

大家實驗及嘗試完成某事，而我也必須找到新主意

new ideas and try things out and I'm just as excited to go to work every day as I am

並嘗試把事情完成，我每天去上班都如同歡度週六夜一樣興奮

to go do something on a Saturday night. The idea of finding your passion is ironically simple.

找到你的熱情所在其實很簡單

Because you should be doing stuff that you enjoy sometimes. What is the stuff that you

因為你應該偶爾會做你喜歡的事

enjoy and what is the stuff that you love? Who are the people you love and what do they

你享受什麼？你熱愛什麼？你愛誰？

all have in common?

他們的共同點為何？
