答案                     Enjoy Working, Enjoy Life Pleasure
    Given the growing working pressure, young workers now tend to be workaholics who wish to work 24 hours a day. However, this kind of attitude can do great harm. For instance, Fang Yan, a 23-year-old white collar worker, died of an acute stomach ulcer due to irregular eating habits and long-term stress at work. Fang’s misfortune is a wake-up call for young people, especially workaholics, that it’s crucial to strike a balance between life and work.
    The first and most important step is to rectify a problematic cultural value that "work comes first". This is a traditional belief prevalent in the Chinese society. Praises are sung to selfless heroes who dedicate their life to endless labor despite toil and hardship. Flowers are presented to devoted workers who are willing to work overtime regardless of pains and ailment That is why we cannot identify with the western idea of "call it a day once the shift is done". From the perspective of happiness and health, the clearcut division between work and play is more conducive to a pleasant, efficient and well-balanced life.
    The second step requires young workers to adjust their attitudes accordingly. In a society that is galloping at full speed with ever-increasing pressure, young people feel the need not just to catch up with but also to stay ahead in the competi-tion. As an only-child generation, they assume the responsibility to provide for the family and make their parents proud. In pursuit of limitless ambitions, their limited time of youth is consumed and depleted. Only by lifting these burdens off their shoulders can they be able to relax and let it be.
    In the mean time, young people should also rearrange their schedules. Apart from keeping a healthy and regular diet, they should remember to take their mind off work once leaving the office. "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy" is the golden rule to stick to. It is important to develop hobbies and friendships to relieve occasional stress and loneliness. If a job exhausts you, pause for a while. life is not all about work. The criterion of a successful life is being about to enjoy the fun of work as well as delights outside of work.
    In a word, health and youth are invaluable assets, not for us to exploit, but to cherish while they are still in our possession. We can work for many jobs after all but we all live for once.
