What I have always written in my signature column is: I hope to work in English, travel in Japanese, and write in Chinese.

Many friends ask me: "Aren't you tired when you do so many things at the same time?"

I never feel tired when I do what I love. Japanese and English help me constantly Update my knowledge system and improve my cognition; while helping me achieve financial independence, more importantly, it can provide me with irreplaceable spiritual satisfaction every day.

Being an online English, IELTS and Japanese teacher, and occasionally writing in Chinese is my current working status. I have never experienced the rush wave of commuting to and from work in Greater Shanghai, nor have I experienced the complexity inside the office. The interpersonal relationship may seem free and comfortable to outsiders, but in fact, this kind of self-exploration has also gone through a long period of waiting, latent, fermentation, growth, and stability...

Think carefully The opportunities that prompted me to become a Japanese-English bilingual worker are as follows:

The sooner you discover something like interest, the better, because even if we later get married, After you get married and have a family, if you don’t have something you truly love, you will still be unable to avoid the boredom and tedium caused by an unchanging life. So how to discover and cultivate your own interests and hobbies?

The first line of the Jiangsu College Entrance Examination was 588, and my college entrance examination score was 602. Among them, the full score of 150 in English was 138. Although I was not satisfied with such scores, it made me discover early that I spent the least time on English subjects, but my grades were the most stable. In addition, I have always been among the best in the school in English in junior high school, and I have the confidence to enter the semi-finals of the National English Olympiad. I feel that foreign languages ??are my true love.

It was the first love that brought me to where I am today.

Of course, later on I became overconfident in my English and chose to major in Japanese. After four years of college, I was not outstanding, but I passed CET-4 and CET-6, Japanese CET-4 and CET-8, and Japanese N1 exams without incident. When I was not trying my best in college, I discovered my other interests: film, literature, travel and photography. I got first place in the two elective courses of foreign film and television appreciation and world travel culture. In addition, I often go to the fifth floor of the library to read various magazines with gusto, read movie reviews, write articles... and interact with teachers and classmates who like movies, travel, literature and photography on forums.

At the postgraduate stage, everyone is thinking about how to write an excellent academic paper, but I am thinking about how to find a career direction suitable for my own development. At that time, I didn’t know what kind of work I could do if I knew Japanese and liked English. However, I made a short-term study plan for myself: practice Japanese speaking and English speaking well.

The entire three years of graduate school was the most active phase of my personality. In addition to going abroad twice, I also made many foreign friends, and I only spoke foreign languages ??to them. I posted my information on the International Student Exchange Center. Later, Sakai, an international student from Kumamoto University in Japan, became my Japanese speaking partner, and Eliza, a Ph.D. from the University of California, USA, became my English speaking partner. Two hours of oral training three times a week gave me enough confidence and courage to make my subsequent choices. I also completed books related to financial economics such as "Monetary Finance" and "International Trade" on my own, although I don't know what they will be used for in the future.

If a person has the capital of pride, then it is not enough for him to gain a foothold in society. When we stand on the same starting line, no one knows our past, and we have to bear the responsibility for our own choices. Take risks, don’t give up easily, and don’t be afraid to find yourself again in the setbacks of making the same mistakes again.

My first job after graduation is now as an online IELTS teacher, signing a contract with one company and working part-time with another. My smooth speaking and confidence during the interview gave me a lot of points for a non-professional person like me. However, before that, I spent half a year on trial and error. I interviewed with more than 20 companies, large and small. There are foreign banks, foreign trade companies, schools... there are Japanese companies, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises... there are translators, administrators, school teachers...

In the end, I gave up. What is the meaning of work is a question that I have pondered over and over again.

In the face of these truths, I cannot avoid my heart: I will never do a job I don’t like.

It was not easy for me in my first year of work because I entered the English-speaking industry and the competition was fierce. In the first week after I joined the company, I barely slept. I completed the Cambridge IELTS test questions and gradually became familiar with how to use the teaching software proficiently. This is a stage that every newbie in the workplace must go through. What makes a difference is that I still have room to gradually take on some part-time jobs, and my previous Japanese major was also picked up.

Because every choice follows your inner wish, you will not give up easily.

Even if there is an abyss ahead, there is no way to retreat behind.

Becoming a bilingual worker is basically achievable.

It has been scientifically proven that having a bilingual brain that can speak, listen, read and write can bring many benefits.

However, this is far from over. Foreign language requires continuous input, practice, and non-stop practice.

At the same time, mastering two foreign languages ????can help me have close contact with excellent foreign films, literature, culture and broad horizons.

I am not worried that one day I will have nothing because I know that I can make a comeback at any time.

This is the quality we really strive to have. It’s not about how much money you make, how many places you’ve been, or how expensive clothes you wear; it’s about having the courage to stand in front of anyone, talk to them as equals, and look back proudly.

German novelist Hermann Hesse wrote in the book "Demian: The Wandering Boyhood": Finding your own destiny is not an arbitrary destiny, but living in it to the fullest, Live wholeheartedly and unwaveringly. Beyond that, everything else is incomplete, an escape, this flight back to the group, just to adapt to the fear within.

If you want to learn English, Japanese, and then write in Chinese, each of them is a long and arduous process.

One by one, I slowly walked on the path I wanted to take.

I have the determination to say goodbye to the past, the perseverance to persevere, the courage to take risks, and the wisdom to balance life. I want my life to have more unknown possibilities.
