Every day is tiring, work and hobbies bring me different feelings, why is that? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

When I was at university, I couldn't learn my major (statistics), and then I started dating and taking photos.

Then when choosing a job after graduation, I was torn between choosing this major or another job

Because I finally found a job, I dare not leave, but when I first started, I was doing data verification and entry, and I felt like I was wasting time every day. After work, I wandered around the streets a bit lost.

In the middle, a leader was replaced and took away this work from me, and then I did some miscellaneous work, which wasn't very stressful, such as designing logos and purchasing things. It was a bit like being a secretary. Plus, the leader was good at painting rosy pictures, so I felt okay/

However, due to an organizational restructuring, I was transferred to the finance department. Since I don't know anything about financial work, I feel dizzy and irritated every day because I need to get involved with the data. It's really annoying. I don't feel like I like data.

I feel happier and more focused when I'm editing photos or videos. Communication seems a little stressful, and checking data feels like it's intruding on my life

I don't know if my feelings are normal. This has been bothering me a lot, and I'm tired every day.

Dear questioner,

What is the rationale behind the discrepancy in emotional responses elicited by work and hobbies?

The majority of individuals engage in remunerative activities with the objective of providing for their families. These pursuits are typically regarded as mere sources of income, rather than as personal interests or avocations.

For the majority of individuals, the academic major pursued is primarily intended to facilitate a specific career path, although it may not ultimately become one's primary source of employment. A university education can foster the development of professional and vocational competencies, but it is not a conduit for the cultivation of personal interests. The aforementioned description suggests that the questioner is experiencing a certain degree of confusion and a lack of motivation to engage in work. This may be attributed to a disinclination towards the specific occupational role in question. It is possible that the primary objective is to secure a livelihood, however, it is essential to consider the underlying purpose of work. Is it primarily driven by financial gain or the acquisition of skills? This ultimately hinges upon one's intrinsic motivations.

It is challenging for individuals to identify employment opportunities that align their professional pursuits with their personal interests. When a hobby transitions into a profession, it necessitates the development of a monetizable skillset, which often requires significant investment of time and resources. Consequently, hobbies may lose their initial spontaneity and become a source of exhaustion. Therefore, engaging in leisure activities that align with one's intrinsic motivations is crucial for maintaining a sense of enjoyment.

It is also possible to regard one's hobbies as a form of work, requiring one to set aside one's professional responsibilities and pursue them with dedication. However, this approach does not guarantee the satisfaction of one's basic needs, such as those pertaining to sustenance, shelter, and warmth. Consequently, this presents a challenge that must be considered when evaluating the role of hobbies in one's life.

The questioner is presented with the option of pursuing either a hobby or a profession. While hobbies can undoubtedly contribute to one's happiness, they are not a reliable source of material satisfaction. It may, however, be worthwhile to explore the possibility of monetizing one's hobbies through entrepreneurial endeavors. All of these possibilities are open for consideration.

It is my hope that the aforementioned information will prove beneficial to the individual who posed the question.

Your description clearly shows that you are confused and helpless.

Your distress stems from the haphazard manner in which you selected your major in college entrance exams. You lack interest in and the capacity to master this field, which inevitably leads to academic challenges. When faced with these challenges, you did not devise an effective plan to overcome them but instead allowed them to persist until graduation.

After graduation, you are confused about choosing a job. You're unsure whether to choose your major or a related field. This is a dilemma that shouldn't have occurred. In theory, only people with a good major encounter this dilemma when they have the opportunity to work outside their major. You're not good at your major, so there's no reason to be confused.

You need to make a decision. When you encounter a problem, you seem to be used to walking around it!

Second, you were competent when you first started working. The work was simple, and your performance wasn't evaluated highly.

Your description suggests you feel you're wasting your time, yet you're not preparing to leave this job. You're still waiting for opportunities to come.

Once again, when there was a change and the middle leader changed, the work was simpler, and the leader had leadership skills, so you were relatively happy. Then there was another cycle, and you were once again exposed to work you didn't like, and it wouldn't appear again in your description, so you were anxious!

You are a relatively passive person at work. You don't do career planning yourself, but you should find a career planner to help you decide what direction you should take in the future.

You are competent in secretarial work, so when the time comes for a job adjustment, that type of work will definitely still exist. Who is doing it? Have you tried to get it?

I think it's fair to say that you don't react well when difficulties arise.

I am confident that this line of thinking will be beneficial for you. I also wish you the best of luck in your future workplace!

Hello, host! I'm July.

From your description, I understand your question. I'm here to help.

From your description, I understand your problem and I can help you solve it.

You're not alone. Many people have faced similar challenges in real life. Take your time, don't rush, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You already know the current problems you're facing, so you're one step closer to solving them. You just need some feasible methods.

I will also discuss your two options. The first is a practical job that is very stable and offers timely compensation. However, this job lacks motivation because there is limited opportunity for advancement and the work is largely uninteresting. Furthermore, you do not genuinely enjoy this job, yet you continue in it because it is stable.

The second option is hobbies. Taking photos, editing photos, and editing videos are things that make you happy, but there is also uncertainty in such work, which is relatively less stable. However, you really like it and are willing to put up with it.

You already know the answer. You just say you lack courage and encouragement, which is why it's affecting you. You're wavering between work and your interests because each has its own advantages and disadvantages. That's why you haven't made a decision.

I have also summarized some ways to help you alleviate the current situation, and I am confident that they will help you to some extent.

(1) Relax, take things slowly, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You'll only make yourself feel bad if you do.

(2) You can have both real work and hobbies. Don't choose one over the other. Use your real work to earn more money for your hobbies. Then you can have better equipment to take better photos.

(3) If you give up your real job for your hobby, that's fine. It's your choice. Be responsible for it. Don't hesitate between the two options.

(4) Talk to a close friend or family member about your thoughts and feelings. Don't repress them.

(5) You should take your time with the follow-up because being aware of your current emotions and thoughts is a good thing for you right now.

The world and I love you.

Take care.

Hello!

First, let's answer your feeling. It's totally normal!

Work is about making money, and if you don't do what you like, it's just mechanical exercise, forcing your brain to keep up. But there's a way around this! When your body and mind are in sync, you're at your best. So, find something you love to do, and you'll be unstoppable!

Hobbies are so enjoyable and make you feel great! They're definitely easier to do.

From your university days to your current job, it's clear that your major and work experience have shaped you. You've shown that you're not a fan of boring, tedious tasks. Instead, you thrive in more creative and lively roles. You've also demonstrated that you're not a fan of statistics. You've shown that you're not a fan of checking and entering data. You've even shown that you're not a fan of financial work!

And the best part is that all of the above is related to data!

And you absolutely love retouching photos and editing videos! You feel so focused when you're doing that.

Absolutely! You don't like boring and tedious things, and you prefer artistic and lively things, right?

From this preference, we may find that you are more sentimental and don't want to be bound by rationality and rules, right? And that's great!

If so, I believe you are a girl who values freedom, has some artistic talent, a rich imagination, an appreciation for beauty, and artistic creativity!

If you can find a job like this, you will absolutely love it! You'll be comfortable, you'll be full of joy, and you'll achieve amazing results.

However, there's no need to worry! Sometimes it is difficult for us to turn our hobbies into work because there are no suitable opportunities in reality that allow us to dare to realize our ideals. But there are plenty of other ways to make your dreams come true!

You know what? You're absolutely right! It is really tough to find a job, so it's understandable that you're not ready to leave.

It could be that they are under pressure to survive, or they may be afraid of the unknown and dare not take the risk of losing out.

When you have so many concerns and are tired from your current work, what an amazing opportunity to make a change!

I'm excited to share two pieces of advice with you!

1. Talk to your leader! Tell them what you're good at and what you need help with. Ask to be moved to a new role where you can use your strengths and work on your weaknesses.

A leader who knows how to use people must see the strengths of their subordinates and put them in a position where they can make the most of their talents!

Why did your leader transfer you to finance?

Maybe he thinks you studied statistics, that it's a related field, and that by transferring you, he's making the best use of your talents!

However, this is precisely why you're here! When you don't perform well, it's not good for the company either.

Let your leader know that you're ready for a change! You studied statistics, but you're not interested in numbers. Transferring you to the design department will allow you to contribute more to the company.

2. If the current company isn't quite what you're looking for, don't be discouraged! There are plenty of other companies out there that match your interests.

Given your concern about finding a job, there is absolutely no need to rush to resign! You can pursue your hobbies as a side hustle and jump ship again when the opportunity arises.

No matter what you choose, whether it's within the company or outside, you can go for some amazing opportunities! And if you don't get this one, no worries! There will be other incredible opportunities in the future.

At least you'll let others know more about you, and you've also worked hard for your dreams, haven't you?

And that's a wrap!

I'm Yan Guilai, a psychological counselor, and I wish you the best of luck!

Good day, inquirer.

In the field of management psychology, the phenomenon of misplacement, or the discrepancy between an individual's abilities and the requirements of their position, is a significant source of inefficiency. A primary cause of this misplacement is a psychological mismatch between the individual and their role.

A study revealed that a job that is not an optimal fit for an individual can result in a 20% to 30% loss of talent. The adage "People are not good at everything, and things are not good for everyone" is illustrative of this phenomenon.

In this context, the term "matching" is used to describe an individual's "appetite." Different positions entail dealing with different tasks and responsibilities, and regular engagement in specific activities can lead to adaptive changes in one's mentality. However, when these changes are incongruent with one's personal character or way of thinking, it can result in resistance.

In the context of the workplace, the term "psychological fit" is often used to describe the feeling of being a good fit for a particular position. This concept refers to the alignment between the psychological characteristics of an individual and the psychological requirements of the social or professional position they occupy.

Self-psychological traits encompass interests, personality, temperament, abilities, needs, motives, and so forth. Among these, interests, abilities, and personality are of particular significance.

♬♬♬

If an individual possesses the requisite psychological adaptability for a specific position, they will approach their work with enthusiasm, and their abilities will concomitantly improve. Furthermore, their personality will become more compatible with their work. They will believe that, provided the position is one they find appealing, they will be able to overcome any difficulties and dangers that may arise. This is the motivating effect of job interest adaptation.

If the position is compatible with one's personality, it will be perceived as more comfortable, and the individual will be better able to achieve results. Additionally, the position will be more positively evaluated. This is the happy effect of personality-position fit.

If the position one occupies is commensurate with one's abilities, one can fully leverage one's strengths and advantages, thereby optimizing the utilization of one's talents. This is the efficacy of job aptitude adaptation.

♬♬♬

Your professional competence extends beyond your interests, while your amateur career is centered on your hobbies. You are intimately aware of your preferences and dislikes, affording you a dual level of protection. The restructuring of the organization entails tasks that are incongruent with your preferences. You may wish to volunteer to your leader or present your leader with the business in which you excel or your keen interests, thereby prompting your leader to take the initiative in making more adaptive adjustments to your work arrangements.

It is important to note that hasty decisions should be avoided. The establishment of a clear objective allows for incremental advancement to be achieved.

It is, in fact, a typical and expected response to express one's emotions or to embrace a more fulfilling existence, given one's familiarity with one's personal interests and pastimes.

I wish you the best of success!

From the message, I can tell that the questioner likes some parts of the current work content and is ready for a change! This kind of distress has affected your daily life, making you tired and feeling a bit out of sorts every day.

I'm so excited to share this with you! I really hope it will be of support to you.

I'm so excited to share this with you! I really hope it will be of support to you.

1. Take a good, hard look at that fatigue and focus on your physical and mental health.

This has always bothered me, and I'm excited to find a solution! I'm tired every day, but I'm ready to make a change.

If this phenomenon has been going on for a long time, such as three months or more, it's time to make a change! Perhaps our body is telling us in this way that this living environment is not adaptable and needs to be adjusted and improved. Unpleasant work content may be creating stress and fatigue through the release of cortisol, so let's make a positive change!

If this phenomenon has been going on for a long time, such as three months or more, it's time to pay attention! Our bodies are trying to tell us that this living environment isn't working for us. It's time to adjust and improve! Unpleasant work content may be creating stress and fatigue through the release of cortisol.

2. You can absolutely achieve a balance between what you are good at, what you like, and what you need to maintain! Try adjusting the work content to make it happen.

Second, it's time to make some exciting changes! Try to adjust the work content to achieve a perfect balance between what you are good at, what you like, and what you maintain.

You didn't do well in statistics at university, but that's okay! This kind of experience can be frustrating because it's not easy to find a job, but there are plenty of other opportunities out there. You don't want to leave easily, but there are other options you can explore.

The work they do to survive lacks enthusiasm and is just repeated mechanically. This is also reflected in the feeling of being interrupted in their later work.

Fortunately, there's still a part of the work content that the questioner loves more than anything: "I feel happier and more focused when editing photos or videos." This is exactly where the questioner's interests and abilities lie!

You can absolutely try the following while still working at your current job!

1. Have a chat with your leader about making some more adjustments to your work content!

The company is making adjustments to its organizational structure, which means there's still room for flexibility in how it uses talent. This is your chance to make the best use of people during this period! Apply to transfer your work content to a field that you are more suited to and better at.

2. Make the most of your free time to build on your professional skills in your field of expertise!

If communicating with the company is too difficult for the questioner, and changing jobs adds additional worries, don't fret! You can use the eight hours outside of work to help improve your professional skills in photography or video editing, or even take on a side business to help you find a more suitable development space.

These attempts all have the incredible opportunity to make some adjustments or adjustments to your current life!

I'm not trying to understand human nature, but I am trying to help you understand yours! I wish you well!

Hello! Thanks so much for your letter.

We get it. You might feel a bit irritated or tired when you have to do things you don't like at work. And it's totally normal to feel a little confused, anxious, or uneasy when faced with the choice of work after graduating from university.

Your struggles and conflicts lie in the fact that on the one hand, you feel a physical rejection and aversion when working with data, and on the other hand, you want to cherish this hard-won job, perhaps for fear of not being able to find another. It is indeed difficult for us to decide what we like and dislike in our work. After all, everyone has different talents, and that's what makes us unique!

You really have to fight against your body's feelings and emotions if you want to convince yourself to love and be patient with data-related work. This can cause a lot of internal wear and tear, which makes you feel very tired. But it's worth it!

It sounds like you're a fan of jobs related to photo editing and video editing! There are still plenty of such jobs out there in the market.

We can't guarantee that 100% of the job content is something we like, but we can serve and contribute our strength to the industry and position that we think is meaningful. So, which industry, company, and position are you willing to devote your passion to?

Are you ready to level up your skills and make yourself eligible for the role? Who knows how long your contract with the company will last!

And there's more! You can also interview for other positions that interest you in your spare time. And when you get your dream offer, you can apply to leave. The initiative is in your hands!

The first job after graduating from university is a really important first step! It's a great way to build up your initial work experience, and it's also a fantastic chance to explore your career options.

It doesn't matter whether we like the job or not, it's still going to be meaningful to us! The feelings we get from the job and the information we gather will guide us in which direction to go next, and that's a great thing!

Once you've thought it through, it's time to take action!

I'm thrilled to chat with you about your career options! You can always reach out if you need any advice or support. Best of luck!

Hello, I'm Gu Yi. I'm humble.

One feeds the soul, the other the body. What should we choose?

You enjoy doing things you like.

Interest is the best teacher. We are affected by external conditions when doing something, which affects our emotions. Sometimes it is pleasant, and sometimes it is annoying.

How do we find a position that suits us? I'm not interested in data. When your work is adjusted to finance and you have to deal with numbers, there is no way for me to find joy in it.

Words please the soul. Numbers nourish the body.

It's hard to find the right balance, but it's worth thinking about.

How do you balance work and interests?

If we don't like data, can we choose a field we like as our work? We can concentrate and enjoy it.

But there's a risk in replacing interest with work. Work can be emotional.

There is a place for everyone. If you are talented, choose a field that suits you. But we must adjust our mentality and face it positively.

For most people, working is stressful.

Choose a field you love and you'll succeed.

Good luck!

We often have to put up with a lot at work, but we still have to treat it like our first love in order to survive. You can leave work, but you can't leave work. If you leave work, you won't be able to live in the current city. I'm sure you can see why this is the case.

Hey there! Did you forget to make a career plan when you were in college? Don't worry, there's still plenty of time during college. If you knew what career you wanted to pursue at the time, you might have been able to grow more focused.

I'm so tired every day! I feel differently about work and my hobbies.

Just because you're in college doesn't mean you should start dating and taking pictures.

I was so scared to leave after finally getting a job when I graduated.

Some students even start their own businesses while still in university! With the help of the local community, school resources, student associations, and fellow students, they can save a lot of costs, which is a great way to gain experience.

⚛️⚛️⚛️⚛️It's so important to respect and accept your true feelings and adjust them.

We all have to deal with annoying and unsettling things in life, and that's okay!

?️?️?️?️I know it can be tough, but I'm here to support you as you try to face your own work disadvantages.

It's totally normal to feel this way! We've all been there. If you're in a position where you're checking and entering data, it can feel like a lot of work with not a lot of reward. It can also feel like anyone could do it, which can make it feel a bit pointless.

You're not the only one in this boat! You'll probably be asked to do all kinds of incredible work, like designing, purchasing, and even being transferred to the finance department. It can feel like these things are getting further and further away from your original work, and it can make you feel a little dizzy.

If our profession is really popular and we've studied really hard, we might not have to change jobs very often. After all, a profession is a place for one person. Even if data isn't your thing, we all have to do it sometimes.

This is your job, and you've got to remember that even if we don't like or are not good at something, we can try to do it because this is a challenge that we all have to face. If you think about ways you can grow and develop yourself, you'll find it easier to communicate and verify with others.

You have a great interest in pictures and videos, and you also have a flow experience, which is an experience that can be amplified. Let yourself realize that this job does have a lot of what you desire, although it is tiring, annoying, and troubling. But don't worry! Everyone's growth basically spirals upward, and they will encounter some difficulties. We must all accept this and enrich our skills to see if we can fall in love with our current work while looking for a more suitable job position. I wish you well!

It is insightful and facilitates the formation of a habit of sharing. I am engaged in self-reflection.

It is posited that interest serves as the most efficacious pedagogical tool.

During one's formative years in an academic setting, the distinction between ideal and reality is not yet fully apparent, as one has not yet fully entered the social milieu.

Upon entering the workplace and beginning to adapt to the environment, one gains insight into the true meaning of this saying.

From a probability standpoint

The majority of individuals assume that their initial employment position will align with their professional aspirations.

In comparison to one's ideal occupation.

There is a discrepancy between one's ideal and actual circumstances.

This is analogous to the situation.

The ideal is replete with promise, whereas reality is stark and uncompromising.

Prior to accepting a position, did they first develop an affinity for the role?

Or did they initially obtain employment and subsequently develop a positive sentiment towards it?

I posit that for the majority of individuals within the workplace,

In selecting a position,

The decision to accept a particular position is often driven by a personal affinity for the role itself.

and thus selected this position.

However, in the context of real life?

Due to the necessity of the position, the level of pressure involved, and the financial implications, many individuals are compelled to accept a position that may not align with their personal preferences.

A significant number of individuals are compelled to accept a position due to the aforementioned factors.

Consequently, they may ultimately accept a position that does not align with their personal preferences, and may subsequently attempt to cultivate a positive attitude towards it.

The plot may appear to be overly dramatic.

This is, however, an accurate representation of life.

The quandary and mental exhaustion delineated by the inquirer

It is not merely an accurate representation of the questioner's intrinsic sentiments.

I believe it reflects the common sentiments of numerous individuals who are presently grappling with the challenge of securing a livelihood.

Despite the challenges inherent to the human experience,

Furthermore, a pervasive sense of helplessness is also evident.

Nevertheless, life is life.

Nevertheless, it is advisable to pursue one's desired lifestyle.

One might posit that while one may desire to do so, it is not a simple matter to secure gainful employment that aligns with one's preferences.

Indeed, it is a challenging endeavor to secure employment that aligns with one's preferences.

It is not possible to be certain that a suitable position will be found in the short term that will also allow one to engage in the activities that one finds most rewarding.

Should one possess the requisite courage,

Should one desire to terminate the oppressive employment situation,

Ultimately, the decision is not in the hands of others; it resides within the individual.

In the absence of the requisite courage to make this decision,

It is therefore unnecessary to persist in expressing dissatisfaction with the present circumstances.

It is futile to continue complaining, regardless of the circumstances.

Since the earliest times, humans have been compelled to adapt to their surroundings. However, it is not feasible for the environment to adapt to us.

A person's lifespan is finite, and the decision-making process should take this into account.

Such a price is, in fact, prohibitively high.

One is compelled to inquire as to the nature of the psychological state that would prompt such a response.

One might inquire as to the rationale behind the decision to persevere in the face of such adversity.

One is compelled to inquire as to the response that the questioner's heart will offer when confronted with this question.

What form of response would be appropriate in this context?

It is not within our power to determine the course of our own lives.

Nevertheless, one can exert control over one's emotional state.

Such justifications as "life is difficult, and one is struggling to make ends meet"

To persuade oneself to accept a life characterised by chaos and depression.

What is the nature of your lifestyle?

One should never make the mistake of underestimating the financial implications of a given situation.

Furthermore, the option of pursuing a fulfilling and satisfying career is always available.

Such decisions are always at the discretion of the individual.

Dear Question Asker, I hope my thoughts will be of some assistance to you.

The issues you face and the concerns you have are also common to most people. One is about survival in the social workplace, and the other is about your interests.

It is normal to experience different emotions when engaging in work and hobbies. I enjoy applying makeup, singing, listening to music, and especially appreciate music.

I studied accounting and have been employed in finance-related fields since graduation, for a period exceeding ten years. I have remained in this field of work throughout this period.

It is essential to maintain a healthy balance between academic pursuits, professional obligations, familial responsibilities, and personal interests. This can be challenging, particularly when one is trying to juggle multiple demands simultaneously.

When I am working, I wear headphones and listen to my preferred music while performing the tasks at hand. This approach greatly enhances my productivity and efficiency. I feel a sense of joy when I am fully engaged in activities I am passionate about, which makes the work less tedious.

2. How do you reconcile work and personal interests? In fact, the two are not mutually exclusive. Many individuals in the workforce lack the flexibility to pursue their personal interests, yet they remain dedicated to doing what they love.

I'm sure you've heard stories in the media about people who, for example, work as construction workers but are actually street dance experts or guzheng masters. A cleaning lady is a painter.

In life, we inevitably encounter pivotal moments where we must make crucial decisions. When we are still young, we have the opportunity to explore a wider range of interests and pursue them with greater dedication. Our youth also affords us the chance to learn from our mistakes.

In middle age, individuals require a sense of security, a sense of belonging, social acceptance, and self-acceptance and self-confidence above all else.

It is of the utmost importance to recognize and appreciate the value of life. I and the world extend our utmost support and encouragement to you. I am aware of your presence and am here to support you.

I hope to gain insight into the mind and make sharing a habit. I am monologuing.

In light of the questioner's confusion, I would like to respectfully propose two topics for our discussion today.

I would like to share some thoughts on career choice and opportunities.

1. Choosing a career

It could be said that school and the workplace are not always entirely compatible.

The so-called future-promising major when you were in school.

Once you enter society and the workplace,

With time, one might even begin to question why they chose that major in the first place.

I wonder if I might have made the wrong choice of major.

Or perhaps I have chosen the wrong job?

I believe this sense of psychological conflict is something many people have experienced, to varying degrees.

If I might offer my personal opinion on the matter,

It is possible that this mentality may be indicative of a choice of major or job that is not entirely aligned with one's preferences.

I believe there is little connection between the two.

If I might humbly offer my perspective, I believe the most direct question is

And whether you can accept, in the course of life's experiences,

Perhaps it would be beneficial to consider a career path that is not directly related to your major.

Perhaps another way of looking at it would be to

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider your preferences.

and be open to accepting a job that is unrelated to your major.

Then, in order to make a living, it may be helpful to gradually develop a positive attitude towards the job.

It is worth noting that many of us

In most cases,

The transition from school to society and then to the workplace can be challenging.

It can still be challenging to find a job that aligns perfectly with your interests and your chosen field of study.

It is, unfortunately, still quite difficult.

It might be worth considering starting your own business.

It would be beneficial to gain experience and hone your skills through the workplace.

It is often the case that we have to make sacrifices in order to gain something else.

Even if, at the time, you may have felt otherwise,

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider whether you are happy with it or whether you can accept it.

Perhaps it would be helpful to consider that you have the option to change this.

Perhaps you could consider changing yourself and choosing to accept.

Perhaps you could try cultivating an interest in the work and allowing yourself to gradually develop a fondness for it.

2. Opportunity

It is often the case that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

I must admit that I used to reject this saying in particular.

I can't help but feel that this sentence may not be entirely accurate.

Ultimately, it is not for us to decide whether this statement is true or false.

Ultimately, it is the reality of the situation that matters.

If I might humbly offer my interpretation of the entire description,

I wonder if it might be worth considering that opportunities are being lost.

I believe that, in the course of your work,

I believe it was at that time you changed leaders.

Perhaps it could be seen as an opportunity for you.

It may be the case that the leader in question has assigned you work that is not particularly remarkable.

I believe it may be a test.

I'm simply trying to see if you can take on other work with greater ability.

It is, unfortunately, the case that the questioner believes this is the leader painting you a picture of an unrealistic scenario.

Even if I may be so bold as to suggest that

This leader may paint an overly optimistic picture of the future.

I would like to inquire as to whether you would be willing to accept this proposal.

Or perhaps you believe you can achieve a good quality of life without accepting the proposals he puts forward?

Subsequently, he was reassigned to the finance department.

I believe that those who have walked through the workplace

It is generally understood that the finance department

It could be said that this department is one that is fundamental to the functioning of any enterprise.

For young people,

If you are willing to put in the effort, there is a great deal of potential for growth and development.

However, the questioner finds the data somewhat disconcerting.

You may be experiencing some uncertainty about your career prospects.

While photo editing and video editing have recently emerged as potential career paths that you find intriguing.

You find yourself wondering if you could do this job.

I am confident that you will achieve something.

Given the circumstances,

It is understandable that you are experiencing a sense of conflict.

This brings us back to our initial question about choosing a career.

You find yourself in a position where you are faced with

Your current job is not an ideal situation for you. It is not something you enjoy, and it is quite stressful.

In addition, there is the graphic design and video editing work that you are not currently doing, which you are very interested in and would enjoy doing.

It is possible that you may encounter a situation where you are unable to do the work you enjoy.

Perhaps it would be more beneficial to consider the work schedule rather than the actual work itself.

I would like to conclude with one final thought.

If you are interested in photo editing and video editing,

It would be beneficial to consider developing in this direction.

It may be beneficial to consider starting early rather than later.

You might consider just diving in and studying hard.

It would be beneficial to choose a job you enjoy and work hard at it.

You may find yourself regretting this decision and blaming yourself for not having made a different choice.

You may find yourself regretting this decision and blaming yourself for not having made a different choice.

If you take a moment to reflect on the matter

You may still feel more secure and have better prospects in your current position.

It might be a good idea to start studying your business in more depth from now on.

With a few years of positive experience under your belt,

It might be beneficial to consider taking a few more exams to further enhance your abilities.

You may even come to enjoy your work.

With regard to photo editing and video editing,

It is still possible that you will come to enjoy it.

It might be a hobby.

May we suggest that you consider adding a colorful touch to your life?

On reflection, this is not as unfavourable as I first thought.

Hello there, question asker!

Work and hobbies are often two parallel lines. But if they can intersect, that's something to be really happy about!

Have you ever wondered why we work?

Have you ever wondered why we work?

More often than not, it is for the sake of survival. We all know how it goes: "For a few coins, for three meals a day," after graduation, we need to find a job step by step, and this has become a fixed growth model.

Work in our lives has often become a tool, a tool that allows us to survive.

We can either dislike work or like it, and we can continue as long as we need to.

What are some of your favorite hobbies?

What are some of your favorite hobbies?

If something can become a hobby, it's probably something you love. And if you love it, it's probably something you're good at, something that gives you a sense of superiority or something you can be proud of.

Because this is your home court, you get all the satisfaction and joy you could possibly want!

Absolutely! Work and hobbies can both bring us benefits. And is having money a bad thing?

Is it bad to be content? Is it bad to have money and a happy mood? I don't think so!

As times change and the internet keeps growing, I really admire people who find a way to combine their hobbies with their work. I think it's so great when you can turn your passion into your job! It's not work when you love what you do, right?

Hello, Landlord!

I can sense the confusion of the host, even though they're already adults. Many people are confused at the crossroads of life.

You are the screenwriter and director of your own life, and the attitude and behavior you choose to deal with life.

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether the plot is exciting. If you're always at a loss and find it boring, then it's time to gather your courage and rewrite this script of your life.

We can't change the outside environment, only our mindset.

1. About the gap between college majors and jobs

The major we picked when we went to college might've been our own choice, or we might've followed advice from others.

No matter what you choose, you'll have to live with the consequences.

However, after graduation, they find that the job they've landed doesn't quite match their major.

This can create a gap in mentality.

It was tough to find a job, so it's not a good idea to leave without permission.

Here's what you should be asking yourself:

Do I really need to find a job that matches my major?

Or can I still enjoy my current work?

You really need to think this through and ask yourself what your heart is telling you.

You can fool other people for a while, but you can't fool yourself.

Don't dwell on it for the rest of your life.

The difference between hobbies and work

Since it's just a hobby, I haven't studied it professionally, so I don't think hobbies can really support you financially.

So there's a bit of a clash between what you're interested in and your work.

Maybe the best situation is to have your own interests and hobbies be your profession and also be able to support yourself, so you won't be so miserable.

But most people often do things they don't like and are too afraid to leave. They complain while continuing to make do with what they have.

You've got two choices: leave or accept the work. If you do it with love, you won't be confused or suffer.

If you do what you like, you'll always have something to motivate you. When you're doing something you don't want to do, you'll lack motivation.

It's the same with meeting someone you like. It's an instinctive feeling of joy that comes from the heart.

So the most important thing in life is to find the right person and do the right thing.

If you're unsure of your goals, take a closer look at the people and situations around you.

Keep thinking and filtering to figure out what kind of life you want and what kind of things you want to do.

Thinking is also a powerful tool.

You might feel a bit lost for a while.

Just keep thinking and sorting through what you want and don't want.

One day, you'll feel like the fog has lifted and the sky is suddenly clear.

For now, just focus on getting the work in front of you done well.

You have to take responsibility for the work you're doing right now.

Complaining while doing something reluctantly is a waste of time.

I really hope the original poster can find a way out on his own.

I'm Warm June, and I love you, world!

Dear Question Asker,

From your description, I can discern your distress. You are dissatisfied with your major and must seek employment based on your major, so you are uncertain about your next steps. Additionally, your interests are not aligned with your major, creating a dilemma and potential conflict.

This is, in essence, a decision between pursuing a profession or a hobby. It is a common challenge among university graduates that requires careful career planning.

From your description, it is evident that you did not enjoy this major during your college years, which made it challenging for you to learn it.

It may be more complex than a simple dislike. Was the major incorrectly reported or transferred during the university application process, or was it the parents' preference? Did you not fully comprehend it at the time and simply report it in a daze, or is there another reason?

In short, you need to ascertain whether this new major aligns with your preferences. If you are unable to secure a position in finance or statistics, it may be advisable to reconsider.

I believe you can begin with this major and continue to develop your skills as you progress. You can then pursue another major, such as photo editing, which aligns with your interests, and excel in that field. When you have reached this point, you will be well-positioned to secure employment in your new major.

However, the process will undoubtedly be challenging, even arduous. When engaged in tasks that do not align with one's interests, it is only natural to feel a sense of discontent. Additionally, the extensive time and energy required for rigorous academic pursuits necessitates a significant degree of determination and resolve.

This is an effective method for determining whether you genuinely enjoy this new major or if you perceive photo editing as a less demanding and stressful pursuit.

If you are genuinely interested in this new field, you will be willing to invest the time and effort required to succeed. With dedication and commitment, you will undoubtedly excel in your chosen area. It is simply a matter of time.

Please be aware that this process may take some time and that you will likely face challenges along the way. It is important to be prepared mentally for these difficulties.

On the other hand, after graduating from university, college students must secure employment to support themselves. At the same time, they must learn to reconcile their ideals with the realities of the job market. While ideals are laudable, reality is often harsh.

It is not realistic to expect to find a job that fully meets all of your expectations, particularly in the current economic climate. It is important to recognise the value of each job opportunity that arises.

Therefore, it is also important to be adaptable, integrate into the workplace environment and corporate culture, and embrace your role within the company.

If you are passionate about your work, you will be more likely to succeed.

Keep an open mind, accept social reality, recognize your own strengths and weaknesses, and avoid being overly idealistic.

It is unfortunate when graduates are unable to secure a suitable position. However, university students are adaptable and should not be constrained by narrow-minded beliefs. Perseverance and dedication will ultimately lead to success.

We are here to support you!

I hope my answer helps.

After reading the original poster's description, it's clear that you have some tasks you enjoy and some you don't. You feel resistance towards the data-related work that you don't like, but you have to do it anyway.

I understand you. Many of us dislike some aspects of our work, and there are always parts we don't like. If we can't change jobs and don't want to, we can use our strengths to deal with disadvantageous scenarios.

From your description, it's clear you excel at taking pictures and videos. You're highly focused, and this is your strength. When you do these things, you enter what psychology calls the state of flow.

Flow is the state of being fully absorbed in something, in which people enter a positive, selfless state. When people enter a state of flow, they are highly efficient and experience happiness in what they are doing.

Therefore, we must create more flow experiences in our lives to achieve long-term happiness.

You have to communicate with people and check data, which can feel intrusive. This is a disadvantageous scenario you need to face.

A disadvantageous situation is one in which we often have to face many situations that put us in a passive or unfavorable position. We must be prepared to face these situations head on.

What should you do in such a situation?

The answer is simple: be patient.

But when we grit our teeth and endure, consoling ourselves with the false hope that "just getting through it" will make it fine, the next time the same situation arises, there will still be no choice but to grit our teeth and endure it.

You will still feel tired and drained every day, but you have to face it.

There is a better option than patience. Use your strengths in disadvantageous scenarios to deal with the disadvantages and resolve the problems.

I'll tell you how.

1. Use your strengths creatively.

When you face a disadvantageous situation, don't panic. Do these three things:

First, identify the disadvantages in the current situation.

Second, recognize your strengths. Don't be quick to dismiss them as useless in the face of current difficulties.

Third, identify connections between your strengths and weaknesses. Use your strengths to inform your thinking about your resources and capabilities. Then, take action.

For example, you can use your other strengths to supplement the problem of checking data. Since you haven't shared much about your own characteristics, I can't make specific suggestions. I'll give you an example from my own experience to help you understand this method.

For example, when I first went live some time ago, I felt the same way you do now. I felt some resistance to doing it, and it was also because I was unfamiliar with live streaming and hadn't done it before. I had a sense of anxiety about the unknown. Let me be clear: you don't know anything about financial work, but you have to do something related to it. The fact is, part of the reason is not that you don't like it, but that you're not good at it yet.

I saw the live broadcast as an opportunity for growth, not a disadvantageous situation. I had given lectures, made PowerPoint presentations, and written many articles, so I was confident I could apply the content of the articles to the courseware. I also had experience broadcasting live, even though it was my first time. I had given lectures and made PowerPoint presentations, so I was less afraid and resistant mentally.

After two live broadcasts, I'm no longer afraid and I'm getting more comfortable with it. When we use our advantages in a disadvantageous situation, we can turn that situation into a resource.

You must leverage your strengths creatively in this disadvantageous situation.

2. Redefine the problem.

Albert Einstein was right: "Problems cannot be solved from the same point of view as they arose."

If you want to open a locked door, you have to stop staring at the keyhole and find the key. "Strengths" is a master key that can turn around "weakness" scenarios. Give problems a new meaning, and they're no longer problems. They're new opportunities to stimulate potential.

For example, I was wrong to be afraid of live streaming. I thought it might make me look bad and that I would encounter problems during the live stream that I wouldn't be able to handle. But then, when I gave the live stream a new meaning, I felt completely different. I knew that live streaming was a better way to spread psychology. I didn't have to perform perfectly on the first live stream. It was commendable that I was able to complete it successfully, which was a new growth and breakthrough for me. This was really a very good opportunity for growth.

Give new meaning to a problem and you will find new motivation.

Give new meaning to your financial work. Use this opportunity to get to know people in the company better, unlock a new skill in yourself, enhance your abilities, and get to know the company better.

3. Charge your strengths.

Research proves that strengths can be used to solve problems and that experiencing positive emotions and a sense of self-worth during the use of strengths is a recipe for happiness.

When you're facing a disadvantageous scenario, you can boost your mood and sense of self-worth by interspersing tasks that play to your strengths into the process. This is called strength charging.

For example, if you like doing photo editing and video editing, do those first. Then, when you're ready, move on to the financial work. You can also do some financial work after you've done some photo editing and video editing. Or, if you're tired of the financial work, do some photo editing and video editing. Then, when you're ready, move on to the financial work.

This method will relieve your stress and improve your work efficiency. As you become more familiar with and better at financial work, you will find it easier to handle.

I trust you will find this information useful. Best regards,

Hello, my name is [name] and I'm a heart exploration coach. I'm here to support you with warmth and a listening ear.

I totally get where you're coming from. It's like going to work is like visiting a grave. Doing things you don't like drains your energy and wastes your emotions, leaving you physically and mentally exhausted and with a sense of worthlessness.

However, when you're doing something you love, you can be as relaxed as you like and enjoy yourself. You're wondering if this is normal, so let's explore the topic of talent together.

Things that interest us are just so rewarding, aren't they? They give us a lovely sense of achievement, and a wonderful sense of affirmation and worth.

Interest is related to ability. If the difficulty of a task increases and your abilities don't match up, it's totally normal for your interest to decrease. For example, you might find statistics and financial work a bit boring because of the difficulty.

And as your abilities adapt to this, your interest will naturally increase. For example, when you are editing videos and photoshopping images,

Not only is he really into it, but he also finds a sense of value in it, which is great to see!

It's a wonderful thing to see how some people just grow in ways that are above and beyond what we expect. And sometimes, it's like they're born with these amazing abilities, like they're already wired with them in their genes!

Ability is related to the time and energy you put into something. Interest is also a factor. As we mentioned before, there are times when you just can't keep going.

So, it's probably not a good idea to choose a job based on your ability or interest. It's probably better to go for something you're talented at!

God sends everyone to this world with a unique mission (this is the mission).

Talent is a person's natural gift for growth. It's something that comes before growth, and it's something to be celebrated!

A natural aptitude or a natural obsession (great passion) for something or a field.

A work instinct is a wonderful reward!

So, how do you find your own talent? Well, it meets the following three points:

1. Effortless: You don't need to put in a lot of effort to excel in this area.

2. Focus: Don't worry about time!

3. Self-empowerment: Don't ever stop! Even if you're tired, keep going. You've got this!

I really hope this has been helpful for you, and for the world. And I just want to say, I love you! ?

If you'd like to keep in touch, just click "Find a Coach" in the top right corner or at the bottom. I'd love to chat with you one-on-one and see how we can support each other!

Fernando Anderson Growth is a journey that demands courage and determination.

I totally get that feeling of being lost when you're not doing what you envisioned for your career. It's tough when your path takes unexpected turns.

Holly Miller Life is a struggle, but the beauty lies in the fight.

Switching gears from statistics to something more creative sounds like it could be a better fit if that's where your heart is. Maybe it's time to explore that side more professionally.

Porter Davis Time is a circus, always packing up and moving away.

It's frustrating when you end up in a role that doesn't match your skills or interests. I wonder if there's a way to combine your passion for photography with a job that pays the bills.

Kylie Ivy The bond of honesty is unbreakable.

Sometimes life throws us into situations we're not prepared for. If finance feels overwhelming, maybe there's an opportunity to learn and grow in that area, even if it's challenging now.

Constance Miller Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.

Feeling out of place in finance when your heart lies in editing can be really disheartening. It might be worth looking for a position that lets you focus on visual arts instead.
