Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES, a column(栏) in a newspaper:

Dear Ariel,

 

       I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits.Even the work environment is cool.But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends.I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground, but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time.I still need to find a girlfriend.So, shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom?

Amoretto

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Amoretto,

I have two things to say: First, you're lucky to have such an excellent offer, especially at a time when so many qualified(胜任的)people are struggling to find any work at all; and second, you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working.

Take the job.You'll be learning, doing interesting things, working in a cool environment, and making money.If you're given a contract (合同), make sure you understand the terms before you sign.Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work.If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working, you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it.

Give your wor k 100 percent.Work energetically and efficiently.If you're dedicated(敬业的)and focused, you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time.Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power.Finally, remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment.Try to give it at least a year (two is better).If you're really miserable after that time, look for another job that will give you more freedom.By then, you'll have workplace experience, bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings.Good luck!

Ariel

Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son's soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son's team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son's teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing(回响)across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted(爆发). O'Donnel had scored!

Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five(致礼)salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal. Mike happily and everyone sent their wishes to him.

Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied, "It was a tie. Everybody won."

And when we are  2to be still because we’re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor’s appointment, or on a bus or train, we often  3something to do. Some will play with mobile devices, other will read something. Being still isn’t something we’re  4.

This comes at a   5: we lose that time for  6, for observing and listening. We lose peace.

And   7yet: sometimes too much action is worse than no action at all. You can run around crarily, but get  8done.

Is this how you want to spend your  12? If so, peace be with you. If not, take a moment to be   13. Don’t think about what you have to do, or what you’ve done already.   14be in the moment.

Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your life, and how you’d  15it to be. See your life with less moveanent, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more  16.

Then be that vision.

It’s prerty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day.   17you’re gotten used to that, try doing less each day. Breathe when you feel yourself moving too  18. slow down. Be present. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of   19for it.20
