It's often said that happiness is achieved once passion collides with skill. In other words, people thrive when they're doing the things they love. Naturally, getting paid to do those things is what many people consider a dream life. Unfortunately, most people consider such a life just that: an unobtainable dream. That doesn't have to be the case, though. Many hobbies and passions can - and do - lead to lucrative careers and fulfilling lives.
常言道,快乐是激情与技艺摩擦的结晶。换句话说,人们做自己喜欢的事情容易成功。自然,因从事所爱之事而获得报酬是许多人梦寐以求的生活。可惜,多数人都觉得这种生活可望而不可及。其实未必如此。许多兴趣和激情能够而且也确实缔造了美好的事业和完满的人生。
