[00:02.94]Work as a Part of Life

[00:05.24]Some people regard work as the goal of life

[00:09.04]and spare no pains to pursue a fulfilling career.

[00:12.58]Others regard work as a means to achieve the value of life,

[00:16.44]emphasizing the meaning and significance of life itself.

[00:20.11]I think work is just a part of one's life.

[00:23.11]To work means to live, and to live must involves work.

[00:28.40]First, when one works, he also lives.

[00:32.51]There is not a period of time

[00:34.43]when one is only working but not living.

[00:37.36]Therefore when one works hard

[00:39.22]and feels happy about his achievements,

[00:41.79]he is also living fruitfully.

[00:44.03]There is no need to say that he just "lives to work".

[00:47.76]Second, it is impossible to imagine a life without work.

[00:51.93]Marx once said that work is the basic need of the human race.

[00:56.10]Work is not only a breadwinning process,

[00:59.58]but is also a process of exploring the unknown world,

[01:03.50]creating beauty, providing help, expressing love,

[01:07.11]friendship and care.

[01:08.85]Anyone would hate a life without work,

[01:11.48]and I think only those who work well enjoy their life best.

[01:15.84]To conclude, I am firmly convinced that work is a part of life.

[01:20.38]So enjoy your work, for when you make progress

[01:23.61]and have fun in your work, you are also enjoying your life.
