I am in the human resources industry. Although I haven't been in the long term, I have been exposed to some job requirements listed in some companies when recruiting. However, when I saw such a recruitment demand, especially when I saw the highlighted "annual salary of 1 million+" on the page, I was still surprised.
Recruitment page of a certain game company
The first time I knew that playing games can make money, it was due to an entertainment news about two years ago: Chen He transformed into an e-sports master and appeared in Huya live game.
At that time, Chen He was so popular because of the popular variety show "Running, Brothers", so related news was overwhelming. The reason why I still remember this thing freshly is because "playing games can make money" has indeed subverted my inherent perception.
In the entire period of my studies in elementary school, middle school, and even in college, in the eyes of parents and teachers, being addicted to electronic games is a top performance of losing one's ambition; and in the eyes of students with good grades, playing electronic games is also something that poor students are keen on.
"No matter how good you play games, can you eat as a meal?" - This is a sentence that almost all parents and teachers often use when educating their "unfair" children.

In the eyes of teachers and parents who think that "learning is the right way", it is not unreasonable for them to oppose playing games. I said that "playing games can make money" and is not encouraged to play games . What I want to say is that things that are regarded as inappropriate by elders or external universal concepts may not necessarily have no future.
What is important is that Whether a person can bring his or her hobbies to the extreme, find a sense of accomplishment in it, and make it have positive meaning, to a certain extent, is also a reflection of a person's ability.

Some time ago, I read an article in a public account "Zhang Liangji" that I particularly liked. "What is more meaningful than chasing stars is chasing one's own life". A story the author told in the article impressed me:
Once, the author recruited new people for the department to do basic planning and operation work. He noticed that a girl's resume had nothing special about her education and internship experience, but "has been the administrator of Li Yifeng's Baidu Tieba, and organized and responsible for dozens of Li Yifeng's fan meetings and pick-up activities." This deeply attracted him, so he interviewed the girl.
Although the girl answered in the interview "What is the help of her to find a job?" she also admitted: she failed the exam because of her crazy star chasing; because of her lack of internship experience, she suffered repeated setbacks when looking for a job... But fortunately, the girl was stayed this time, and the author hoped that she would give her a try.
The author's unique vision was quickly confirmed by the girl's excellence: two months independently planned online activities; the probation period ended and the veteran who worked in the company for three or four years; three years later, he was already the head of the marketing department of a large Internet company.
This girl's enthusiasm for chasing stars (actually, she is also her enthusiasm for investing in something), the management experience of Baidu Tieba administrators and event planning experience have successfully won her a stepping stone for interviews. Then, all this passion and experience made her feel like a fish in her later work, perfectly bringing her strengths to the extreme.
The author said: "Star chasing requires enthusiasm, technology and perseverance, just like working. People who chase stars well will not be much worse in life."
For me, what attracts me more about this story is actually the star chasing itself.

Chasing stars is just like playing electronic games. In the eyes of parents and teachers, and in the universal concepts of the outside world, it is also a waste of work.
I remember when I was in high school, there was a male classmate in the class who was crazy about chasing stars and spent a lot of money and energy. During a dispute with parents, they were pumped on a belt because they refused to listen to advice. This is an extreme event, but the degree of star chasing in the eyes of parents can be seen from this.
Similarly, it is understandable that parents and teachers oppose star chasing (the right method should be taken), but the way of star chasing and how uses and uses this hobby to determine whether it has positive significance.

A few days ago, a colleague of mine talked to me about their hometown (a small town in Shaanxi): There was a girl in the neighbor's house who loved dancing since she was a child. When the family did not have the conditions to train her to attend dance training classes, she thought about it herself or went to school on TV. She also often organizes friends from neighbors to dance together, and she is responsible for choreography.
However, she could never use this enthusiasm for dance as well, so her academic performance was a mess. In the town more than 20 years ago, although the elders praised the girl for her good dancing, they sneered at the fact that she was not good at studying. After all, in the eyes of the elders, not studying hard at a young age means not doing their jobs.

As expected, this girl graduated from junior high school and her studies were also wasted. And in a small town, her dancing talent doesn't seem to be very useful. A few years later, she married a young man from the countryside and lived a life that was too ordinary to be more ordinary in the countryside. In the eyes of people around you, "this is the end of not studying hard."
However, this girl did not "leave her will". After her life stabilized, she picked up her dance hobby and developed it into a money-making skill: set up a kindergarten in her mother's small town and teaches the children to dance.
There are few kindergartens in the town, but there are many children, and some are left-behind children who are cared for by the elderly. Because her kindergarten service is thoughtful, such as picking up and dropping off children to and from school, it has solved the worries of many parents, so there are more and more children in her kindergarten. She gathered her childhood playmates to work with her and sent them to the city for training. It is said that even teachers from the county kindergartens are coming to her to learn from the scriptures.
With the expansion of the scale of the kindergarten, she has truly become a boss, started her own career, and became a typical entrepreneurial model for local private enterprises. Now, she has started her second kindergarten locally.
This dancing girl created a legendary story belonging to this town, sublimating herself and driving local employment. She used her personal experience to tell us that can still live out her own wonderful life without following the "right path" that is in the eyes of the world.

Everyone has their own hobbies, some are considered serious and meaningful hobbies in the eyes of others; some are considered "not doing their jobs" in the eyes of others. These hobbies may waste money, consume energy, waste studies, and even delay the future.
But these so-called "unworking" hobbies are not born with "destructive" qualities, it depends on how a person uses it and plays out.
If a person is just addicted to electronic games, has no pursuit of life, and has no idea about life, then this hobby is really not doing his job;
If a person chases stars and only has only star chasing in life, and cannot effectively apply the enthusiasm and skills in the process of star chasing stars to his career development, then this hobby is really not doing his job;
If a person only loves dance but not studies, and lives a life that will not turn around in the eyes of others, and he will admit his fate and admit defeat from now on, then this hobby is really not doing his job.
These hobbies, these people, and others who have the same hobbies may have been labeled as "not doing their jobs", but rather than saying that they are not doing their jobs, it is better to say that they always have a restless heart in their hearts, always calling the fire in their chests.
Therefore, there is no difference between good and bad in hobbies itself. Perhaps some hobbies are accepted by the outside world, some are not accepted, and some are disliked by people around you because they have run the "righteous business" in universal values. But how can play and utilize its hobbies and make it bring meaningful value is a person's real "main business". ▲
