兴趣成就事业:可以发展出事业的10个爱好(上)
It's often said that happiness is achieved once passion collides with skill. In other words, people thrive when they're doing the things they love. Naturally, getting paid to do those things is what many people consider a dream life. Unfortunately, most people consider such a life just that: an unobtainable dream. That doesn't have to be the case, though. Many hobbies and passions can - and do - lead to lucrative careers and fulfilling lives.
常言道，快乐是激情与技艺摩擦的结晶。换句话说，人们做自己喜欢的事情容易成功。自然，因从事所爱之事而获得报酬是许多人梦寐以求的生活。可惜，多数人都觉得这种生活可望而不可及。其实未必如此。许多兴趣和激情能够而且也确实缔造了美好的事业和完满的人生。

Photography

Everyone can take a picture with a camera, but it's no secret that some are better at making images than others. If you possess impressive photography chops, people will pay you good money for your work. To build your portfolio, offer your services for low prices and then work your way up.

Carpentry
木工活
With countless factories creating wooden furniture for impressively low prices and at impressively fast speeds, you'd think there'd be no demand for handmade carpentry skills. That's not the case. Many home and business owners still appreciate fine craftsmanship and are willing to pay for handmade, sturdy, one-of-a-kind pieces.
有数不清的工厂能够迅速生产出物美价廉的木制家具，你可能觉得手工木匠活怕是无人问津了，不过事实并非如此。许多家庭和企业主仍然欣赏好的木工手艺，也愿意为那些坚固的百里挑一的手工木活花费大手笔。
Music
音乐
For some, music isn't just a hobby - it's necessary to their happiness here on Earth. If you fall into the "music lover" category, perhaps a career in staffs, notes and key signatures is for you. You can give private voice or music lessons in your home or rent a studio and work from there.
对有些人而言，音乐不只是爱好——更是他们活在人世的快乐源泉。如果你也是“音乐爱好者”，或许这个跳动着乐符的事业比较适合你。你可以在家教授私人声乐课，也可以租个音乐棚用于工作。
