Being productive is the best way to solve your problems in life. It's keeping your brain active and running, which leaves you no time to be unhappy and think about unimportant things. Hobbies are one of many ways to be more productive in life especially when you have trouble finding yourself. But finding a hobby doesn't have to be that complicated as well as finding yourself. It's important to be willing to take action and wanting to do it. As everything can be achieved step-by-step, the key way to find a hobby is also step-by-step.
保持高產能是解決你人生問題最好的方法。它讓你的大腦活躍並持續運轉，那讓你沒有時間不開心或去想那些不重要的事情。興趣就是讓你在生活中可以更有產能的眾多方法之一，尤其是當你迷失自我的時候。但找尋興趣並不需要跟找尋自我一樣複雜。願意採取行動並且想要去付諸行動，是很重要的。就像所有事情都可以一步一步實現，找尋興趣的關鍵方法也可以一步一步來。
So the first step would be determining whether you want to go solo or social. Do you feel more comfortable working within a group or by yourself? What motivates you more? This is the first way of creating a proper selection of hobbies that you can choose from, according to what might fit you the best. For example, some solo hobbies are chess, ballroom dancing, gardening, classic-car restoration, reading, or playing guitar, and so on. And social ones are all the way from sports to creating and building things within a group.
第一步就是要決定你是想要單獨從事還是跟大家一起。與團隊共同合作或是你自己來，哪一種讓你比較自在？什麼事情能給你更大的動機？這是羅列你可以選擇的興趣時的第一步，根據可能最適合你的事物。舉例來說，一些可以單獨進行的興趣像是棋類、國標舞、園藝、經典車修復、閱讀、或是彈吉他...等。而可以投入人群的興趣包含了從運動到在團隊裡創作及建造東西。
Then you need to think what feeling you're aiming for. Is it to relax, for the excitement, for pride or popularity? The feeling is important because beneath all other factors, the feeling is what keeps you in it in the long run. When the feeling is out, all other arguments start making no sense at all. Think well which feeling you're missing, and discover which hobbies could offer it. I find paintball and quad biking very exciting, while drawing and making jewelry relaxes me. And learning Adobe programs and creating things through them makes me proud for knowing more than yesterday.
接著你需要想一想你希望有什麼感受。是要放鬆、刺激、為了自尊還是人氣？感受是相當重要的，因為在其他要素的影響下，感受是讓你能長期堅持下去的關鍵。當感覺沒了，其他理由就開始一點意義都沒有了。好好想一想你少了哪一種感覺，並發掘哪一種興趣可以提供這種感覺。我覺得漆彈跟四輪摩托車很刺激，而畫畫跟製作珠寶讓我很放鬆。學習 Adobe 應用程式並用它們來做出東西，讓我因為比昨天知道得更多而感到驕傲。
Don't run away from criticism nor support. Show your work to others. Your loved ones will surely find it important, but online communities can be very supportive and helpful as well. They can help you evaluate and decide whether to continue or move on from something. Whenever I'm into any hobby, I join a Facebook group, where I share and talk with others about that hobby. It's not only another way of enjoying it and learning more but you discover completely different perspectives of a certain matter. Whatever it is, even solo hobbies, people can be a great boost or clarifier in your journey.
不要害怕批評或是支持。把你的作品展示給其他人看吧。愛你的人當然會覺得它很重要，但網路社群也可以給你許多支持與幫助。它們能幫你評估並決定是否要繼續，或是改換其他興趣。每當我喜歡上任何一種興趣，我就會加入一個 Facebook 社團，我在那裡可以跟他人分享並討論那個興趣。這不僅是另一種享受興趣並能學到更多的方式，你還可以發現在某件事物上截然不同的觀點。不論是什麼，就算是自己一個人從事的興趣，人們可以在你的旅途上擔任很棒的助力，或是成為讓你對事情看得更清楚的角色。
And finally, don't be afraid to change the hobby. Who knows? Maybe it lasts two days or two years, but don't ever be afraid of moving on. It's all about achieving goals. And if you achieved all goals you wanted within that hobby, move on and set more goals and find something else. That's not only okay to do but even recommended because you're enriching your spectrum of interest and knowledge. Always remember: Every man is the architect of his own fortune.
最後，不要害怕改變興趣。誰知道呢？或許它持續了兩天或是兩年，但絕對不要害怕繼續往前。重點是在達成目標。而如果你已經達成興趣裡你想達成的所有目標，繼續往前並設立更多目標，然後再找尋其他興趣吧。這樣做不僅沒關係，甚至是很推薦的做法，因為你在充實你的興趣與知識光譜。永遠要記得：每個人都是他自己命運的締造者。
