It’s a human nature that we avoid doing what we dislike as far as possible, but to some extent, things you dislike can help you widen you knowledge. Take me as an example, I used to hate to learn history in junior high school, I think it’s totally meaningless to know what people did in the past, yet, facing the pressure of exam, I had to spend some time on it, to my surprise, when I wholly dived into history books, I found it more appealing than I had imagined, furthermore, I also learned a lot of historic occurrences which directly affected the development of our modern society such as the Renaissance or the First and the Second World War. It was obvious that reading historical books enlarged my history knowledge and at the same time, helped me to form a new perspective to understand the current world deeply.
Another main reason to do things you do not enjoy is that you may find which field you are really good at, and then totally devote to it. My cousin Steve is the best example, in his child life, he hated everything about study especially studying English, it was not surprised for him that he could not even spell the word “orange” correctly when he was twelve yeas old, his dream was to be a famous singer, however, with the time flied by, he realized his dream became more and more unrealistic, as a result, he studied hard to go to the first-class university, during the time he learned English, he found he had a special gift in learning languages, and the progress he made in English extremely shocked everyone(From fifteen years old, his English test scores never below 90). Now, English becomes his profession, he works in a top 500 company as a senior interpreter, and almost earns 6000 dollars per month.
As is mentioned above, every coin has two sides, it’s not completely afflicting to do things you dislike, on the contrary, sometimes, it may even bring you unexpected results, not only the high salary but also the increased knowledge and your beloved occupation.
