Please read it for me, just like you are speaking in a normal speed.
Thank you!!!
What are you passionate about?
If you have lots of pride and satisfaction in your work, I think you are fortunate.
Lately I have often tried to search for the meaning of a job. Is it just your bread and butter? Should it be something to live for?
Actually, I am torn between going back to my original job and pursuing my dream. After I took a break from my job several years ago, I totally got into English and learning cultural things.
Interestingly enough, the more I became fascinated with learning English, the more I lost my interest in going back to work.
I'm a pharmacist, and worked in a clinic. I didn't have any complaints about my work, and working as a pharmacist provided a high-income potential. Having said that, if I was asked if I enjoyed the job, I would answer, "I don't know..."
Since I quit the job, I have become caught up in learning English, and I have become hooked on trying to improve it. I wish I could know when I've accomplished fluency. I know it will take me years and years. I wonder why I cared enough about it to throw away my career?
I might be enjoying the process a lot. Even though I'm not a qualified teacher, when some people ask me to teach them English, I happily comply with their requests. When native English speakers want someone who can listen to them, and understand them, I am glad to cooperate. When they need to practice Japanese, I take pleasure in speaking Japanese with them. English has given me tons of joy!
I don't know whether I should be sad or not that I'm unemployed, but I have a lot of time to enjoy myself and also to help people by using English.
As it stands now, I have no idea which direction I am heading for in the future...
