興趣成就事業:可以發展出事業的10個愛好(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，快樂是激情與技藝摩擦的結晶。換句話說，人們做自己喜歡的事情容易成功。自然，因從事所愛之事而獲得報酬是許多人夢寐以求的生活。可惜，多數人都覺得這種生活可望而不可及。其實未必如此。許多興趣和激情能夠而且也確實締造了美好的事業和完滿的人生。

Exercising
運動
Fitness gurus who are passionate about staying fit have a unique opportunity to teach what they love to do. Whether you excel at weight lifting, yoga, pilates or mountain biking, you can take classes to become an instructor. Also consider getting a job as a coach for schools and clubs.
熱衷於保持健美的健身專家擁有特別的機會，可以教授自己喜歡的活動。不論你是擅長舉重、瑜伽、肚皮舞還是山地車，你都可以接受培訓去做教練員。而且，你還可以考慮在學校或俱樂部謀個差事。

Photography
攝影
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.
誰都會用相機拍照，但衆人皆知有些人就是能比別人做得更好。如果你攝影技藝了得，人們就會優酬請你拍照。要獲得成功，你可以先廉價提供服務，然後再一步一步擴大。

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.
有數不清的工廠能夠迅速生產出物美價廉的木製傢俱，你可能覺得手工木匠活怕是無人問津了，不過事實並非如此。許多家庭和企業主仍然欣賞好的木工手藝，也願意爲那些堅固的百裏挑一的手工木活花費大手筆。

Music
音樂
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.
對有些人而言，音樂不只是愛好——更是他們活在人世的快樂源泉。如果你也是“音樂愛好者”，或許這個跳動着樂符的事業比較適合你。你可以在家教授私人聲樂課，也可以租個音樂棚用於工作。
