散文閱讀：愛你所做，做你所愛
導語：散文閱讀：愛你所做，做你所愛。人生短暫，我們不能所有事都兼顧，但至少我們可以選擇做我們自己喜歡的，并盡力做好，做到這樣，我們的生命也就不算虛度了。
Life is short. Are you doing what you love？ Are you living your passion？
人生短暫。你所從事的是你熱愛的工作嗎？你生活在激情中嗎？
If not， why？ I am guessing most people will answer that question with "I have a mortgage， a spouse and three kids to support.“ In the real world people have responsibilities. They have to make sacrifices. You aren't supposed to be happy with your job but you do it because you have to."
如果不是，為什么？我猜想大部分都會以“我要付房子的按揭貸款，還有愛人和三個孩子要養”之類的回答來搪塞這個問題。的確，在現實生活中，我們有自己的家庭責任，我們不得不做些犧牲，我們做著一些自己并不熱愛的工作只因我們必需這樣去做。
With all due respect， they are wrong. You can take care of your responsibilities and be happy with your job. We spend over 1/3 of our day， at least five days a week performing our jobs. This is a lot of time to be wasting on something we don't enjoy， is it not？ Why not spend that time doing something you truly are passionate about for 50 hours a week instead of something that lacks meaning？
恕我直言，這一切并非正確。你可以兼顧你的責任，同時熱愛你的工作。我們一天中要花去1/3的時間，至少一個星期5天去工作。如果不熱愛這份工作，這確實是一筆很大的時間浪費，不是嗎？為什么不能用這寶貴的時間，一星期50個小時去從做你真正激情洋溢的事情呢，而不是對你來說缺少意義的工作。
I think there is one main reason people don't follow their passion： fear. Fear of how others will react， fear of failure， and fear that they can't do it themselves. I think the first part is for people to realize that they can conquer their fear. You will fail at times and others will think you are crazy at times， but if you believe that you will succeed than you ultimately will.
我認為有些人之所以不去追求他們的夢想是有一個主要的原因：恐懼。懼怕他人的指指點點，懼怕失敗，懼怕沒有能力完成他們的夢想。我認為第一步人們應該去戰勝恐懼。有時我們會失敗，有時別人也會覺得你有些瘋狂，但只要你堅信你能夠成功，那么你最終必將成功。【外語&教育網編輯整理】
I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now. But understand that there are other people out there who have been through what you are going through and can help you immensely. They have failed， been ridiculed， and come out on the other end extremely successful. They are living proof that you can do what you love.
我理解這做起來并不容易。其實，我也正在克服追求我的夢想過程中的恐懼。但我們相信有些人已經從這個恐懼中堅強地走了出來，并愿意幫助我們。他們曾經失敗過，被嘲笑過，但他們走向了勝利的彼岸。這些人的故事正是“你能做你所愛”的真實而有力的證據。
