Choose what you enjoy doing
It’s true we get involved in a job or activity, not because we like it or enjoy doing it, but because “everybody” says it’s such a “nice” thing to do, like manning a flower shop. A flower shop is a pretty sight, especially with a pretty girl inside; but I suspect many of these pretty shop girls are just bored stiff with the work.
And somewhat perversely, the people who love to handle and arrange flowers are usually much older women who have long since lost the first bloom of youth!
You can’t choose what you do (e.g. working in a dreary job you don’t like, but you need the money, and there are no other more congenial jobs available), but you can certainly choose what you like to do.
You have a choice to spend your leisure time, effort and money in only the activities you enjoy doing, not what you see other people enjoyed doing.
I heard from some young girls who said that after they leave school, they want to be working as a salesgirl in a cosmetic and make-up kiosk in some glitzy, brand-name department store. But when I talked to the actual girls at the kiosk selling Chanel or Revlon or what-nots, these girls complained of aching feet (having to stand for hours) and putting up with grouchy, wrinkled women customers who are the only ones with the cash to buy expensive beauty products.
Life is not a pretty sight for those pretty girls selling beauty products to ugly customers!
Personally, what I enjoy doing is looking at pretty girls, especially if they are complimented by flowers around them. Here’s a popular Chinese New Year Tang poem I’ve translated to share with you (I certainly enjoy translating Tang poetry into fluid English phrases):
Last year this day by the door Her face rivalled the peach blossoms and more But when spring returned with the turning year The flowers were all the bloom I saw.
