From the video, I have learned that it's not difficult to figure out how to use enthusiasm to make money in today's society. We must first understand the areas in which we are interested and skilled, and then figure out how to connect them so that we can do what we love while earning money every day.
According to the film, this can be divided into four parts: the work we enjoy, our strengths, the job that pays well, and what society requires. The lecturer teaches us how to analyze using the diagram method. The name is Ikigai, which is derived from Japanese.
Then, analyze what we can do based on these four factors, and consider why we want to work in this industry and what we live for. After that, make connections and consider the relationship through self-analysis. This allows us to be more focused on our goals and think more clearly.
Also, believe that everyone is a creative thinker capable of connecting disparate ideas and arriving at divergent conclusions. Lastly, he mentioned that don't let our past hold us back from taking the next step in life; we can make changes at any time.

This is my evaluation of myself. It includes things I've enjoyed doing since I was a child, as well as my current interests and hobbies. I also wrote about the current situation in the industry, which I believe is currently profitable, as well as the needs of society and the world. What exactly is it? These are my personal thoughts and opinions, and I also consider and judge which group I belong to and what purpose I want to serve in the upcoming work. I came to the conclusion that I want to help the world while doing what I enjoy. So, as mentioned in the film, this is part of the mission. Now I feel like I have a better idea of where I want to go in the future. That will be a difficult task for me. If I succeed, I believe I should be grateful for this invaluable lesson, and I will feel that my life is very satisfying, meaningful, and free of regrets.
