work to live

Work and life are two key elements in modern people’s lives and the relationship between them has been a hot topic after people step into the modern world. Based on the relationship between them, work and life, as a matter of fact, affect each other. However, the fierce competition in the modern world compels people to work inexhaustibly, who, to some extent, become slaves of work. From my perspective, work isn’t all and people should hold the concept that work to live, not live to work.
Work can give strong support to life. On the one hand, it is our basic needs in everyday life that can be achieved by work. In other words, in order to live normally, we need to make money by work. For example, our food, clothes, studies and so on must be paid by money from work. So in this aspect, the great function of work is delightful. On the other hand, work can achieve more, particularly in the spiritual world. Work can help them do their favorite things and realize their own values, like a general teacher who can pass on knowledge to numerous students. Work can really give people great fulfillment. Therefore, we can know that work play an essential role in people’s lives.
Nevertheless, we should not ignore that “live to work”still exist among quite a lot of people and this concept causes terrible trouble to them. I have heard that many people complain that they feel empty or that their life seems to be into a mess if they do not work. Life contains a lot, for example people can take a coffee, visit parents or friend or go out to travel, which can make them relaxed and pleasant. Having accustomed to the high-intensitive work for a long time, these people, who look on work as everything, just work and find their lives meaningless. More seriously, a few may choose to die, a rather depressing result. What to do with the two elements becomes important.
We can’t deny that work can provide strong support in many aspects for people’s lives. But given the fact that high intensive work dose harm
to people physically and psychologically, work shouldn’t be the only pursuit, especially for the young generation. So, as long as time is permitted, stop the work on hand and go out to enjoy the colorful life.。
