However, in our society, there are many people who work not for themselves, but for money, status, family and so on. If they find a job just like Jim, they will be inhibited in the thought of the high salary and the glorious prospect of the job without thinking of their interests. Then, what has caused it? Maybe Chinese education teaches us more on the aspect of getting a higher degree and earning more money than that of trying to find what we are interested in. Take me for example, to my own interests, but in agreement with what kind of majors the society need. Although, as a diligent girl, I know how to get a high mark in any subject, yet I feel at a loss towards my future.



I have heard a lecture made by an Internet manager who was successful in designing pictures on Internet. He didn't major in computer. He liked drawing. His wife was a skillful computer operator. Once he found the pictures on Internet, an idea sprouted out: "Why couldn't I draw pictures on the computer?" His wife quite supported his idea, and helped him to learn computer knowledge. Finally, he succeeded. In the end of the lecture, he said: "If you have an interest, and endow it activated meaning, you will be successful."



What is the meaning of "activated"? Only having interests is not enough. Jim became a brewer not like his father and grandfather, for he improved the quality of the beer, and was brave to promote sale of the new brand beer. That is, he didn't stay in the same place where his father stayed. He applied his wisdom into the undertaking, and brought about his dreams. So "activated" means to put one's distinctive ideas in the enterprise of his interest, and use strength to prove its value. Therefore, we should not only find our interests, but also make them activated, then we will, someday, stand on the top of success.
