If you are engaged in an ideal career, then you will definitely get the wealth you want more easily than others; if you are engaged in a career you want to do, then the satisfaction you get after becoming rich It must also be stronger than others.

- "The Lost Classic of Getting Rich"

In general, it is possible to get rich in any industry.If a person has a professional talent in a certain industry and is engaged in related work, he will easily obtain wealth; but people can also be successful in other fields, because people can continuously cultivate and tap new talents in the day after tomorrow.

A person's talent is like an indispensable tool for obtaining wealth. Being able to use these tools correctly can greatly reduce the resistance on the way forward. This is the "most suitable" job.However, the so-called "most suitable" is not necessarily the ideal, and people's actual abilities and interests often do not match.Therefore, some people have a job that others envy, but they never feel happy; some people have a high salary and excellent work performance, but it is difficult to obtain a sense of accomplishment.

Combining work and interests is the way Wallace advocates. Although he believes that people can gain wealth in multiple fields, if a person can do what he wants to do most, he will not only get material gains, Will also be happy.

Phil Johnson's father owns a laundromat, and he put Phil to work in the shop, hoping that he would take over his own business in the future.But Phil hated the work of the laundry very much. He was lazy and listless all day long. Under the pressure of his father, he would reluctantly do some work, but he didn't put his mind on the store at all.This distressed his father and made him feel ashamed in front of the employees because his son didn't want to improve.

In fact, Phil likes to study machinery very much. He often plays with some mechanical parts and reads a lot of related books.Finally one day, Phil told his father that he wanted to work in a machinery factory as a worker.Abandoning the current thriving laundry business, but going out to work, and starting everything from scratch, his father couldn't understand his idea at all, so he blocked it and refused to agree.

In the end, Phil still insisted on his own ideas, put on greasy coarse work clothes, and started the labor-intensive and longer work.But instead of feeling hard, he felt very happy, whistling while working.In his spare time, he took engineering courses, studied engines, and assembled machinery.

Before Phil's death in 1944, he had become the president of Boeing Aircraft Company and led the company's engineers to create the "Flying Fortress" bomber, which made great contributions to the victory of the Allied Forces in World War II.

What would have happened to Phil and the laundry if he had stayed in the laundry?If he still goes his own way, I am afraid that the laundry will go bankrupt, and Phil will be destitute; if he is willing to manage the business in the store in a down-to-earth manner, it is naturally possible to obtain a lot of wealth and expand his father's store several times. May never be truly happy.

If a person can choose a career according to his hobbies, his own initiative will be fully utilized.Even if the work is very hard, he will persevere in overcoming it, even forgetting to sleep and eat, and he is always in high spirits and in a good mood.Edison is a good example.He worked in the laboratory for more than ten hours every day, eating and sleeping there, but he didn't feel bitter at all. "I've never stopped working for a day in my life," he declared, "and I've had a lot of fun every day."

When you make a plan to realize your wealth dream, you should consider your own interests and hobbies as much as possible, without completely worrying about your own strengths and the pressure of others. The lack of skills and methods can be made up through learning, and the gaps in interests But it is very difficult to make up for.

How pleasant it would be to have a job where your hobbies and interests lie!It is your right to do what you want to do most, to do the work that best suits your personality and makes you happy.
