Some viewers may think that this girl, who is so radiant and comfortable on stage, must be a graduate of a school! Jin Jing graduated from the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law and studied journalism, a profession that has nothing to do with "acting". So what made her embark on the road of acting and successfully appear on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala? In fact, it all comes from the guidance of interest, is interested in letting her listen to the call of the heart, choose, and adhere to their own love, so that she is not afraid of the wind and rain, and continue to exceed their own.
The study found that: a person who is interested in learning, will be transformed from passive learning to active learning; if interested in a certain occupational activities, will continue to work hard and do not know tired. Some data show that if a person is engaged in their own interest in the occupation, they can play all the talents of 80% - 90%, if engaged in the occupation is not interested in, can only play all the talents of 20% - 30%. Some people have done a survey of successful people in the United States also shows that 94% of them are engaged in their favorite occupation. So many psychologists and career planners can reach a **** knowledge: interest is an important factor affecting people's job satisfaction, career stability and career fulfillment. If high school students can use their interests as a guide for career planning, it will allow you to understand yourself earlier, find your own life goals, and thus make more adequate preparations for the future earlier. So, how can you plan an exciting life with interests?
Zhang Jie said: "Any kind of interest contains a tendency of nature in the call, and perhaps also contains a kind of genius in the original state of the flash." So, do you know yourself? Ask yourself: what kind of person am I? What kind of work do I like? What kind of work do I dislike? Listening to the truest voice within yourself is the starting point for planning a wonderful life using your interests.
In the 1950s, Hollander, a famous American psychologist, put forward a wide range of application and social influence of vocational interest testing tools based on his many years of career counseling experience and career theory research results. According to the different interests, Hollander categorized people into six types (see Table 1): research-based (I), artistic (A), social (S), corporate (E), conventional (C), and realistic (R).
Everyone's interests are a combination of these six types in varying degrees. According to Hollander, the more similar and compatible these tendencies are, the less inherent conflict and hesitation a person will face in choosing a career. To help characterize this situation, he placed each of these six interest types in each corner of a square-six triangle (see Figure 2).
The six types were represented in the following three relationships: i.e., adjacent, e.g., career vs. social; separated, e.g., conventional, social, research; and relative, e.g., realistic, social. The closer the distance between any two types, the more similar are their personality traits and occupational activities. E.g. Corporate and Social types are neighboring types and they are more similar. Social and Realistic are relative types and have the least similarity. When evaluating a person's interest type, it is often the combination of the top three types in the six types, and the combination of the letters in order of the score, constituting the interest group type, such as RCA, AIS, etc. (using Hollander's "Self-Directed Exploration Scale" can be completed for testing).
With the help of Hollander's vocational interest model, we can have a clearer understanding of our own interest tendencies and avoid blind choices.
Perhaps some students' interests are vague, some have fewer points of interest and are not rich enough, and some are scattered and less stable. In fact, the formation of vocational interest itself is a cyclical, deepening and regulating process. The knowledge and grasp of one's own vocational interest is not just a matter of doing an assessment. In addition to the volatility of interest, many hidden interests lurk within the heart and are not easy to find, and the formation of vocational interest requires us to constantly explore and improve.
People with a wide range of interests usually have a broad vision and quick thinking, and are able to think about problems and solve them from multiple perspectives, which gives them more space in their career planning choices. Although high school life is a heavy academic burden, we can still cultivate our hobbies and interests through various campus activities and exercise our abilities in various aspects. The book "Tear Down the Walls in Your Thinking" says that people who are uninterested are often not incompetent, but gutless. Many people say they have no interest, not really no interest, but afraid of their own do not do well. So don't be afraid to fail, dare to try, "stay extremely engaged in life, and life will embrace you."
Personal interests can be broad, but not generalized, that is, there should be a certain concentration of hobbies. It is important to be both broad and focused in order to learn and gain more knowledge. If only a wide range and no central interest, people tend to be shallow knowledge, the lack of a definite direction of career planning, that is, as the saying goes, "all kinds of pass, all kinds of loose," the mind, difficult to achieve. Therefore, in the pursuit of interests and hobbies, it is necessary to add cognitive behavior, that is, to add thinking. For example, "I am interested in watching TV" and "I am interested in reading novels" are sensory interests caused by the things themselves. The study of novels and screenplays is a higher level of conscious interest, and this interest is more stable.
Interest in a profession is based on a real knowledge of it. Therefore, in order to obtain a stable and focused interest in the occupation, it is also necessary to actively recognize the external world and the occupational environment. It is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the profession itself through the leadership of professional role models and social practice activities, thus stimulating one's professional interest.
Social experience activities are very rich in content, including vocational experience, volunteer action, social surveys, research and study, etc. Everyone can regulate and cultivate interest by participating in a variety of social practice activities, according to the social and self-needs, consciously to cultivate and develop career interest,.
"Don't think that what is interesting can be our career." When we face the future, we can't do something just for the sake of having fun, because it becomes productive once it transforms into a career, and we should create certain things. So on top of having certain interests, it is also important to think: can my abilities nourish my interests? Or am I good enough at a certain interest? If the answer is no, then we still have to work toward the goal.
It's also a very hard journey from interest to ability. Whether you can stick to something for a long time depends on how strong your desire to reach your goal is. Kazuo Inamori said, "The foundation of success is to have a strong desire." There is a strong desire, the desire to become a new starting point; there is a strong desire, you can see the solution to the problem; there is a strong desire, you will be willing to pay obsessively; there is a strong desire to produce a never tire of passion.
Talent is interest + a lot of repetitive practice. The law of 10,000 hours is a famous view of success put forward by the American writer Gladwell in The Alienist, which simply means that no matter what you do, as long as you can stick to it for 10,000 hours, you can become an expert in the field. Whether you are a painter, an athlete, a pianist, a writer or a programmer, etc., you can't escape the 10,000-hour law of success. Turning interest into ability requires a lot of repetition until it is internalized.
It also means finding a way to redeem the value for yourself, making the action more goal-oriented and fulfilling. For example, learning to sing, my ultimate goal is to participate in the art exam, then before reaching the ultimate goal, I can set a few practical small goals, such as school competitions, and then participate in the city competitions, and finally sprint to the provincial competitions. In the process of redeeming the value, experience growth and harvest success.
Love is the beginning of learning, interest is the teacher of success. Students, the future of your choice of work can bring you, by no means only to meet the needs of survival, but a deeper, belong to the soul of the satisfaction and fun. Just like Jin Jing mentioned in the beginning of the article, one year after graduating from college, she quit her job as an editor at a public website and became a full-time actress. Because acting is her favorite, it allows her to experience the richness and fullness of life. Jin Jing is lucky to have found her own piece of heaven after going around in circles.
But I think we are definitely more fortunate than Jin Jing, because we can discover our own interests, explore our own potential, and plan our own life earlier. In the best years, to find the true self, recognize the direction of the future, find the dream look. In the end, I hope we can all - choose what I love, love what I choose, do what I think, become what I want!
