jobs or interests

Today I read an article about the relation between job and interests. It took Winston Churchill as an example. AT first, his father wanted him to become a teacher, but he didn’t follow his father’s advice. He thought he had great interests in politics and his prospects in this area were good. So he chose his way by himself. And finally, as we all know, he fulfilled all his potential and reached the top as a politician. HE said:” Lucky are those whose interests and work are the same.”  I think I am the lucky because I’ve chosen my major in the light of my interests. So some years later, my interests and work will be the same. But I know not every one is the lucky. There’re many people that do the work they aren’t interested in and wondering whether they should follow their heart to leave the present work and seek for their real interests or just adjust themselves to it and make themselves like it. More and more people choose the former one because they’re under the impression that a person only has one life, so they should value the only one chance to do what they want to do and to go where they want to go. Many people give up all they posses to seek after their dreams. No matter whether they get somewhere, most of them don’t regret.  I admire their courage and determination. And sometimes I want to taste this kind of life—challenging, busy and full of X factors. But on the other hand, I think life is life. Not every one can get what they want and do what their interests lie in. And that is the case in most circumstances. So why don’t we try to learn more about it and try to like it? Maybe we can find many interesting aspects of it that unknown to us. Maybe we will begin to love it. And also, we’re adults so we must take responsibilities for our behaviors and shoulder the results. That is to say, we shouldn’t do everything just according to our own interests.  So if we’re in such situation, we should think over carefully and make a choice. The most thing is, no matter which way you take, to do everything with all your strengths. Then whatever you’ll get at last, you will not regret for your decision.
