'The important thing is to be able to find work that is worth risking your life on,' Mr. Matsuura said. After all, you have to work 60,000 hours in your lifetime, so it's better to find a career you're passionate about than 3.6 million minutes. Who wouldn't love it a little more if they could? Who wouldn't, if they could, find something they love and make a career out of it? But how do you find what you love? Where does love come from? We believe that love comes first from being meaningful. Do meaningful work instead of being forced to make a living. In fact, to sustain love, it's not enough to be meaningful. "If you find yourself working your butt off but not being able to be enthusiastic, it's time to take a look at your health. Of course, if you're doing work that you love, that gives you a sense of identity and satisfaction, then you're a dedicated workaholic, and it's not going to affect your health, it's going to keep you motivated." Love is the power to do one thing, because love, so willing to pay more. Do what you like, and then tired is also very satisfied. Love is a positive feedback system. If what you do has a sense of meaning in your mind, you will put more energy into it. Because of your efforts, you will probably do better, which will lead to recognition and satisfaction, so you will tell yourself "I love this job" and invest more... The sense of acceptance and satisfaction you get, coupled with the tremendous effort and cost you put into it, will make you love the work even more, which intensifies the sense of meaning. We apply the formula of Fogg's behavior model: B=M·A·P (behavior = motivation × ability × cue). In order for an action to occur, it must first be motivated, which is what we call "meaningful"; In order for the behavior to last, you have to have the ability, which means that it's not that difficult for you, at least you have the ability to do it, and then you have the satisfaction and the sense of accomplishment when you do it; Cues are triggers for behavior, and we hope that this article or this book can be cues; Finally, you have to try a lot, try a lot, you will find something you love to do. Is the future predictable? It starts with your choices: see more, choose what you believe in, and take steps toward what you believe
