PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE (WEEK 1)

Reflection on “How To Find And Do Work That You Love (Ikigai)

Based on the Ikigai Venn Diagram that is shown by Chris Do in his video, which consists of 4 different parts, What I love to do, What I am good at, What pays well, and What the world needs now, it makes me asking myself the question posed by him.

What are my loves?

- Drawing

- Cooking

- Baking

- Flower Tea

- Flower

- Eating

- Chinese Style

What I am good at?

- Drawing

- Cooking

- Illustration

- Water Colouring

- Colouring

What job pays the bills?

- Branding

- Poster Design

- Packaging

- Name Card Design

- Web Design

- Drawing

- Photography

What I think the world needs now?

- Warmth

- Kind

- Better Environment

- Peace

- Less Judgemental

After listing out all the things I have in my mind accordingly, I have found myself to be in a situation where I have the capability or even chance to actually take what I am good at, which is also what I love and enjoy doing, that would also help to pay the bills, and to create something that the world needs now. As mentioned by Chris Do, if I work in that direction, I am surely to be on my work without feeling burnout as I enjoy what I am doing, and the thing that I am doing is also helping the world, while paying me well at the same time.
