Work Versus Hobbies – Part 2


Do you find your work monotonous, routine and you have to face or smile
to your boss even if you don’t feel like it?

Do you find traveling to office is sometimes a chore?

Spending time and money on traveling and transportation can sometime be frustrating.
Waiting time; hot weather; wet weather; long traveling time,
squeezing yourself in the same transport etc.

Not only the above, you could only got your salary at the end of the month.
Thus you are trading your time and effort with the fixed amount of dollars.

Let’s be brutally honest…have you wonder what is the objective of working?
In my opinion, everybody is working for the 3 meals that served on the table.
To get enough money so as to support the family.

Do you live to eat or eat to live?

Why make our lives so miserable to exchange the amount of paycheck?

Instead of spending more time with your family and friends, you are spending more time
in office to trade for money.

Although you can still get your fixed regular amount of paycheck at the end of the month,
won’t it be great if there is another opportunity for you to work from home and
get the same or more income?

You will Work once and get paid quickly.
The amount could be double, triple or even higher than what you had expected or
asked for during your full time employment.

The answer is to work for your hobbies.
What are your hobbies? Internet surfing, gardening or chess playing?

Working for hobbies is different because you are doing something that you like.
You will find utmost pleasure in what you are doing.

My hobby is to surf the web.

After surfing the Internet for a while, I find that it is quite boring.
Either going for search engines, web email, various websites, blogs and others.
I find its not so exciting after all.

Then I ponder to myself, since there is an increase in Internet citizens,
why not monetize something when I am surfing the web?

With the current financial crisis, this idea began stronger and more concrete.
Whatever I have, try to monetize my hobbies…

As there is a saying, “Every journey starts with the first step.”
Thus I try to build my own website, affiliate marketing, ebay and some other money making tools.

Work versus Hobbies – Lessons Learned


Work today is so stressful. Even if you have a job,
the work is almost pushing you to the walls.

Many organizations are reducing budget
on the staffs hiring. Thus there are little resources
to do the pile of jobs.

- Are you grueling at your 9-5 job ?
- Are you facing tons of unfinished backlogs?
- What about facing an unreasonable boss that keeps nagging at you

If there is any error in the task, boss will nag at you. Boss gives you deadline to finish your assignment. While you are trying to excel in your work and yet your boss says this is your basic requirement to fulfill the job. ….OMG

After being employed for so long, I want to tell my friends that I am getting tired to work for people. It does not pay to work so hard and yet your effort is unappreciated. I would rather work for something and yet pays me well like my hobbies, things I like.

At least it provides me a route to excel in my work. If I can excel in my hobbies, like communication, project management. I can become a consultant and share my experiences with others. Wont it be great that I can get paid if I am doing through my hobbies.

Recently, I met a young lady.  She is at the cross-road of choosing her career now. She studies psychology, works in marketing and like to mix around with people. She is pondering what to focus on her career: To dwell into marketing, her psychology area or a job that allows her to mix around. Because she is young while we spoke, she has many choices to choose, thus is now in dilemma stage.

My lessons learned is do something that you like. Anything that interests you. Your interest and the pleasure to stay in a job will push you further if you like it. It will be a drag if you are working on something that you do not like.

I was informed that a person’s will go through a minimum of 2 big career moves. You will do something that you like after graduation. Example, working in I.T.  You will work your way up to the highest title you can achieve. And once you have sufficient experiences, say after 15-20 years, you will be changing to another career. I am not referring to jobs. You may change jobs within that 15-20 years within the same career.

However, after 20 years of experiences, you may want to change your career path to other industry, say consulting. Using your 1st career experience to enhance on your 2nd career path.

On the nutshell, you got to like what your work. It will be so much better if it is your hobbies. Say a computer geek to a consultant. Learning to assemble parts to form a workable computer. Work in I.T. area till you can share your experience to others.
