life style

When I read the newspaper, I was alert to the headline “All-day trading on SGX from March 1”,which meant they had to work from 9am to 5pm,no time left for lunch.
This evoked my memory of the significant increasing quantity of people who died just because of heavy workloads. I did not know how to judge this phenomenon. They were immersed in researching and creating and got tremendous victory in their career. Their industry made great contribution to the development of the society.
Nevertheless, there was another kind of people in the world. The recreation cost most of their time and they enjoyed themselves’ lives. As we all knew, Bai Juyi, a famous poet in Tang dynasty in China, had experienced the two kinds of life styles mentioned above. He used to be eager in political campaign and was an important figure. However, after some accidents, he transferred his attention from the politics into inwardness. He was absorbed in music and natural scenery. Should we say that he became passive or realized the real mean of the life? There was not an exact answer.
Can we comment which is positive? Maybe the majority of people try to find the balance, but they become the common people. Because somebody wants to be excel in a certain field, something must be abandoned. How to live a life? Maybe just do what you want and feel joyous. That is enough.
