• (Para. 14-17) Emphasis is placed on the only one way to achieve happiness -- to do the job you really enjoy.
Quotations
My object in living is to unite My avocation and my vocation As my two eyes make one in sight. Only where love and need are one, And the work is play for mortal stakes, Is the deed ever really done For Heaven and the future’s sakes.
--Robert Frost
Quotations
The purpose of my life is to combine what I enjoy doing with what I need to do for a living. It is ideal that we enjoy what we need to do and this is what we should pursue in our whole life.
Quotations
The nature of work involves both physical and spiritual struggles. Beyond all other considerations, work is about constant embarrassment and shame you feel about yourself every day. Work is a two-sided thing: on the one hand, one has to work to make money and maintain his/her livelihood; on the other hand, one gains spiritual delight and social recognition by working. Work is less boring than fascinating oneself. To sum up, the purpose of work is to search for a meaningful life rather than to go through a routine and mechanical one.

Quotations
Work is, by its very nature, about violence to the spirit as well as the body; it’s above all about daily humiliations; it’s about a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor. In short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying… --Studs Terkel
