The importance of doing what you love

When I was growing up, all I wanted to be was an artist. When I got to high school and could choose what classes to take, I took every art class that was available. Painting, drawing, photography, you name it - l took the class.

Then I took a chemistry class. I LOVED it. It was fun! And I was good at it. I started thinking: wouldn't I make more money if I went into the sciences instead of being a starving artist?

So I threw away the art school applications and went to study chemistry. College was fun, and when I graduated with my chemistry degree, I went to graduate school in Washington, D. C. to do a PhD program in chemistry! It was OK to start with, but after the first year, I was completely depressed. I hated the program. It was dry and boring. But I didn't know what to do about it.

So I quit. I spent the next month feeling bad about my failure, unsure what to do next. Finally, I went to an employment agency to get a job. Something - anything - that would pay money.

I got a temporary job filling envelopes at an NGO. One day they needed some graphic design and I volunteered. This was the major turning point in my career. Over the next few months, they gave me more and more design work. What began as a temporary job turned into a permanent job. I was finally doing something I loved, and I was making money doing it. It's been difficult at times, but I really love my job. Believe me, it is FAR more important that you are happy and get to do what you are passionate about every day and get paid less for it, than to dread getting up in the morning because you dislike what you do.

NGO = non-governmental organization

Over the next few months, they gave me more and more design work. What began as a temporary job turned into a permanent job. I was finally doing something I loved, and I was making money doing it. It's been difficult at times, but I really love my job. Believe me, it is FAR more important that you are happy and get to do what you are passionate about every day and get paid less for it, than to dread getting up in the morning because you dislike what you do.

Zygmunt Bauman, o pensador da

modernidade liquida


Na época atual, o ritmo incessante das

transformações gera angústias e incertezas e dá

lugar a uma nova lógica, pautada pelo

individualismo e pelo consumo


     “Fluidez é a qualidade de líquidos e gases. (...) Os líquidos, diferentemente dos sólidos, não mantêm sua forma com facilidade. (...) Os fluidos se movem facilmente. Eles “fluem", “escorrem", “ esvaem-se”, “respingam”, “transbordam", “vazam”, “inundam" (...) Essas são razões para considerar “fluidez" ou “liquidez” como metáforas adequadas quando queremos captar a natureza da presente fase (...) na história da humanidade.

     ’’ O trecho acima faz parte do prefácio de Modernidade Líquida, uma das principais obras do polonês Zygmunt Bauman (1925-), professor emérito das universidades de Leeds (Inglaterra) e Varsóvia (Polônia) e um dos mais importantes sociólogos da atualidade. Com um olhar simples e crítico, Bauman lança um olhar crítico para as transformações sociais e econômicas trazidas pelo capitalismo globalizado.

       Conceito central do pensamento do autor, a "modernidade líquida” seria o momento histórico que vivemos atualmente, em que as instituições, as ideias e as relações estabelecidas entre as pessoas se transformam de maneira muito rápida e imprevisível: “Tudo é temporário, a modernidade (...)- tal como os líquidos - caracteriza-se pela incapacidade de manter a forma".

         Para melhor compreender a modernidade líquida, é preciso voltar ao período que a antecedeu, chamado por Bauman de modernidade sólida, que está associada aos conceitos de comunidade e laços de identificação entre as pessoas, que trazem a ideia de perenidade e a sensação de segurança. Na era sólida, os valores se transformavam em ritmo lento e previsível. Assim, tínhamos algumas certezas e a sensação de controle sobre o mundo - sobre a natureza, a tecnologia, a economia, por exemplo.

      Alguns acontecimentos da segunda metade do século XX, como a instabilidade econômica mundial, o surgimento de novas tecnologias e a globalização, contribuíram para a perda da ideia de controle sobre os processos do mundo, trazendo incertezas quanto a nossa capacidade de nos adequar aos novos padrões sociais, que se liquefazem e mudam constantemente. Nessa passagem do mundo sólido ao líquido, Bauman chama atenção para a liquefação das formas sociais: o trabalho, a família, o engajamento político, o amor, a amizade e, por fim, a própria identidade. Essa situação produz angústia, ansiedade constante e o medo líquido: temor do desemprego, da violência, do terrorismo, de ficar para trás, de não se encaixar nesse novo mundo, que muda num ritmo hiperveloz. Assim, duas das características da modernidade líquida são a substituição da ideia de coletividade e de solidariedade pelo individualismo; e a transformação do cidadão em consumidor. Nesse contexto, as relações afetivas se dão por meio de laços momentâneos e volúveis e se tornam superficiais e pouco seguras (amor líquido). No lugar da vida em comunidade e do contato próximo e pessoal privilegiam-se as chamadas conexões, relações interpessoais que podem ser desfeitas com a mesma facilidade com que são estabelecidas, assim como mercadorias que podem ser adquiridas e descartadas . Exemplos disso seriam os relacionamentos virtuais em redes.

A modernidade líquida, no entanto, não se confunde com a pós-modernidade, conceito do qual Bauman é crítico. De acordo com ele, não há pós-modernidade (no sentido de ruptura ou separação), mas sim uma continuação da modernidade (o núcleo capitalista se mantém) com uma lógica diferente - a fixidez da época anterior é substituída pela volatilidade, sob o domínio do imediato, do individualismo e do consumo.
