Confronted with the question about our attitude towards the weight between work and life, people might fall into a dilemma. Indeed it’s difficult to get the same answer from everyone because it completely depends on the way people look at the importance of it. From my point of view, I would say that I am the person who work to live.
In my opinion work is nothing else than a kind of archiving a certain livestyle so that I can feed myself and buy me whatever I want/need. Work cannot take up all my life, nevertheless, it is a part of my life and this part is playing an essential role as we all know. I have read a story of a young man in a newspaper, which will serve as an example to show us how he led a carefree life without work-related stress . He was a restless man who has quitted his jobs frequently to make a tour around China. As a result, he had been to many interesting places. And he said that this was his life, and he has passion for his life (I would rather say: and he likes/loves this kind of living). Compared with many other people who are crazy about working day and night, this young man seems to live a enjoyable life.
Work doesn’t mean everything to us. In our life, something else, such as family, counts more. Families give us more than mental support whereas work just provide us with financial support and nothing else. Money is not what we were born with. If we lose a great deal of money, sad as we are (I would say: so sad as this will be), we can make it again. Once you lose one of your family members, they can’t come back to life and you will lose them forever. True (I would say: But, to be honest,), we’re living in a world of material and only by working hard we can achieve better things, but family life can enable you to get fulfillment.
Asked the question that do you love to work or work to love againI’m sure I will choose the latter without any doubt(I would say: If you say that you like it to go to work, I will rewrite my letter immediately and without any doubts.), . We should not be ruled by the tyranny of work. Far from it! We should enjoy our life before it is too late !!!
Thanks to you
