☆ hobby　　趣味
============================
I love the idea of finding a hobby that you love and turning that into your life work, do you think it’s possible? What’s your hobby? Is there any way that you could turn your hobby into a way to make enough money for you to quit your job?
Many people think that they need to get a job in order to earn money to live, but then they end up with money, but a job they don’t like. And most people are then too tired to actually spend time on their hobby and doing things that they love to do.
Have you heard of Alan Watts? He is a philosopher and he gave a great speech about finding your passion, and it is often related to your hobby. He asks young university student to think about the question, “What would you do if money were no object?”
You can see a “manga” comic version of Alan Watts’ lecture here:

Or a 3-minute video clip here if you’d prefer to listen, it’s a very powerful video and message:
So, what would you do if money were no object? Would you do something connected to your hobby? If so, how can you find a way to do more of that in your life?
